I suggested checking out Sanyo's line of CCD sample boards.

Since I got so many inquiries, I figure it will be easier (and more
useful) to post.  I have nothing to do with any of these companies, other
than as a satisfied customer.

Sanyo has the EB9943-03 Evaluation board for $120.  The board measures
3.57x2.17x0.9"  It uses their LC9943 1/6" image sensor with 162x120 pixels.
Input is 12 volts DC, ~220 ma and the output is a standard NTSC composite
video signal.  It includes a lens and 6 IR LEDs for illumination in the
dark. (Yes, it works very nicely in infrared...)

DAK sells the Uniden House Detective (VM-100) for $149.90 + $ P&H.  This
includes a camera, based on the same Sanyo CCD (but with a larger PCB and
fewer surface-mount parts) and a 5 inch composite monitor.  The monitor is
powered from a 12 volt wallbrick and a 60 foot 3 conductor cable (+12, 
video, and ground) connects the two.  (These pare last year's prices, so
call DAK to make sure they still have it for this price)
