Recommendation for renter

[jeffshead]

I'm going to rent an apartment for several months. What type and brand of interior portable camera should I purchase that can do the following:

• preferably hidden or disguised
• capture video if someone enters apartment when I'm not there
• doesn't require a paid service
• portable, no mounting that requires damaging walls
• local and remote storage
• probably will take a cat for company so triggering motion detection may be an issue
• not sure what type of Internet is available at apartment
• I could leave a locked Windows PC on, in the apartment, while I'm away.
• I do have a remote home lab with public, static IP's that could be used for remote storage

So is there anything on the market like this? I won't have a robust firewall solution in the apartment so is there a privacy and security concern when adding this type of camera to a simple network?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Just an FYI, the description of being "static" isn't what allows remote access via WAN it must be "public" (exposed to Internet and accessible via WAN).
A non-static or "dynamic" IP can be "public" and remotely accessible via WAN and is generally facilitated by use of a DDNS.

I have public, static IP's.
