CCTV recommendations

We've a few outbuildings, and unfortunately our new neighbour has hacked down all their 30 year old hedging to replace it with shiny new hedging, meaning all and sundry can now see through their garden to our lovely interesting outbuildings. As there's now no hedge, just a wire fence that's easily climbed over, I can see that on the odd occasion our dog isn't watching we might get light fingered visitors climb into our garden as next door is out at work all day, so I'm thinking of installing CCTV of the sort it can be viewed online - and the footage stored online, so we can monitor from indoors and see it when we are not home. We do have mains power to most of our outbuildings, and PIR operated security lights and can see most entrances from our living (often deer/badger/fox has triggered the lights).
Anybody done this and any recommendations of a system? Have been looking at Maplin etc.

A colleague has a couple of Sricams which are linked to his mobile phone. They are not very expensive. The reviews on Amazon were mixed when I looked, but the pictures are good.

I fell asleep last night while trying to say Hikvision here! It's what I'm going for (don't yet have) after a lot of research. Great quality and lower cost apparently. Lots of the cameras are very poor including some of the bigger names. You need a good camera (high resolution) with good night vision if you want to be able to actually identify someone. That's a particular issue over longer distances though your security lighting will help.

Nest cameras would do what you want but they're very expensive for what they are and are - if I recall correctly - tied to (expensive) Nest as far as the online storage options go.
