   There are lots of point-and-shoot cameras, with movietaking modes, that can   
   do all of that; expect to pay $10 or so at thrift stores...   you'll need   
   to supply power, and tend the camera (it stops when it fills its SD card),   
   and there's often a special cord to connect it to a computer (USB) or   
   television (HDMI, composite video, USB... depends on the TV).   Wireless   
   (WiFi) is sometimes available, too.   
      
   For something that does set-and-forget monitoring, the dedicated boxes   
   with hard drives are more convenient.  Your camera probably came   
   with one of these.   It's only money...   
      
   Somewhere inbetween are the wildlife-camera items; low power, motion sensing   
   with   
   timestamps.  Search for 'critter cam' is productive.
