Can anyone recommend bunny CCTV?

We have our bunny lodges, but what I want to do is put in cameras so I can see them at night and make sure everyone is happy etc. I just wondered what have others done as we haven't got electricity to the lodges and probably not feasible to put it in. So has anyone got CCTV or webcams running on batteries if so can you give me an idea of what I can do, I don't mind if it's just connected to the TV rather than the computer I would just like to see my lot at night etc.

Cheers
 
I use one like this:

But you have to be careful because some cheap wireless cameras on eBay may be illegal.
If they use 1.2ghz they aren't legal. If it uses 1.394ghz (like mine) it is legal, but most items don't list the frequency so you might need to ask the seller before you buy.

In addition to the camera above you would need a battery clip, plus 8 rechargeable (or 16 to charge one set whilst using the other) to provide 12 volts.
This is the clip I use: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/8-aa-battery-box-rk44x
Then you need to adapt a cable to connect the battery clip to the camera. Maplin sell the parts for this sort of thing but it depends what clips the camera comes with.

This type of camera you connect to your TV using a yellow cable and socket called Composite. You can buy composite SCART cables if needed
 
I run mine with a POE (power over ethernet) adaptor and view it on PC, smartphone etc. The ethernet cable runs down the top of my fence so safer and cheaper than electric cable. I got everything off ebay.
