What kind of camera is best for watching my motorcycle?

The best camera for guarding a motorcycle is one that can identify a person at night and tell you something is happening while you can still act. Look for these features:

• Strong night vision: most bike thefts happen in the dark, so infrared or color night vision is non-negotiable.
• Motion alerts to your phone: footage of a theft is nice; a notification during one is better.
• Enough resolution to read faces and plates: 2K or better if the camera sits more than a few yards from the bike.
• Weatherproof housing if it lives outside.
• Local plus cloud storage, so thieves can't erase the evidence by grabbing the camera.

Wired cameras are more reliable; battery models are easier to place where wiring is impractical. Mount it at roughly head height facing the bike, and add a second wide-angle unit covering how a van would approach. And remember: a camera documents a theft — a lock and a tracker are what prevent one and get the bike back.
