I think tape is better than digital in a lot of cases too.
I'm sorry, but that is false.

Analog VHS tapes look better than DVD for their FIRST RUN ONLY and then they are degraded, and this does not apply to self-made tapes.

Get a TV tuner card for your computer for 50 dollars, and then mount an inexpensive camera somewhere in your home where you can get a good shot of said area. Crank up the resolution and go.

Just be sure to dump the unused data every 24-48 hrs. Even 250gb will fill up very fast.
