Get a CCTV camera with infrared night vision and CCD sensor - do not get a camera with a CMOS sensor, they are no good in the dark.
Get a camera with a high resolution (480) and and digital DVR than can record that resolution

Do NOT go for best. These normally rely on automatic lenses, which can be difficult to adjust even for professionals. Depends on the country, but very good deals can be made at Henry's Radio, London. Internet search for them as henrys radio. If your problem is daytime a reasonable quality colour camera will do, but give an idea to the supplier of the distance from the camera to the place you monitor or you will not get the right lens. Get a camera with its' own automatic iris. For night use a low light mono camera is better, but you might need to use infrared lighting, or else a motion detected light to see well. There are colour cameras which will switch to mono at night, but they do not handle very low light conditions.

For the most part shopping for a security camera is as easy as a Google search just make sure the camera's rated for outdoor use. The basic outdoor security cameras are cheap they start as low as $30 dollars.

There are a lot of wireless/nanny cameras out on the market now, but you are probably going to need a night time/low light camera if lighting is not practical in your driveway. Then you will also need to decide how you want to store your video either on a PC or VCR.
The other thing to consider with wireless cameras would be picture quality, so a wired camera might be a better option for you if there is any wireless interference. smarthome.com has a variety of brands but aer usually more expensive. x10 that has a pretty cheap wired camera that is black and white which performs better at night and it plugs right into a vcr
