I have a Bushnell Trophy Cam HD Max that I have been quite pleased with. You can set it to do stills OR video and works day and night. Night pix/vids are in monochrome, day in colour. Can also be set to take images at a certain time of day/night without the sensor being triggered. Takes 12 AA batts. for longterm performance although will work on 4.

You'll no doubt get a number of recommendations. Check out the specs of each and decide what you want or need, e.g. sensor range, before coughing up your hard-earned.

If it's a short-term need you may be able to hire one.

The Bushnells are best, I could afford them so got a couple of Acorn ones, getting on a bit now. 6mp and video (but not HD) range of the IR illumination is limited but you get some usable results.
I would expect the newer ones to be much better

The Aldi ones look very similar to the LTL acorn ones which are fairly good.

I have LTL Acorn. I have been very pleased with it for a couple of years. Been deployed months on end in all weathers.

I have just bought a Swann from Maplins at £89.99. It works really well in all modes, weather and time of day: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/swann-outbackcam-n53kg

Aldi have just got one in stock. Very similar to above but £69.99.
