The sign is in a planter in front of some large bushes and facing the sidewalk. I am thinking of concealing the camera in the bushes.

The camera needs to be able to be on a schedule, to only be active from midnight to wee hours. Otherwise it will be triggered by passing pedestrians and cars all day.
I just bought 2 Bushnell Trophy cam HD bandits for $94 plus $12 shipping on ebay. We put the cameras out last week and pulled cards on Saturday. VERY impressed with night and day pics. I'll be buying two more if I can win another auction.
This camera is programmable for operating hours and has sound for video mode. Trigger speed is excellent. You can buy a single on Amazon for $78. The only issue is, the LED's are visible while recording.

Below is s link to one on ebay for $69 B.I.N. Same seller I got the pair from.
