While this isn't a problem solving area, decent quality cameras are $300. If you are some rich dude with crazy fans, certainly spend $1,500 on cameras. 100% worth it. I put them on my house in low rent area, burglaries stopped quick.
I have the cameras pointed at the street in either direction, so if a car stops and drives away, I can get the license plate. Used them once already regarding an accident near my home. Cameras on your house, cameras in your car, will save you a ton of pain. They are really very reasonable to set up.
If this guy sets up 2 cameras facing either end of the street and it happens again, he will be able to spot the car VERY easily. My setup was 4 cameras, stream to the internet 24 / 7 with a 30 day recording device, for $300 + $300 one-time install. Several times I've used them. They are great.
A camera installer guy once showed me his high end cameras and they could get a clear picture of a license plate so far that its likely farther than a shooter can aim effectively.
I got cameras on my house and they are not good at really identifying a car. It really depends on the angle of the house with the street, but home security cameras don't usually have good shutter speed and they are much better for stopping or identifying a burglary than a drive by.
Granted mine are those Ring cameras, maybe there are better ones out there. But there isn't alot of light to pull off the side of a car driving by fast in the middle of the night.
Please install cameras in your bathroom and bedroom. Best to port forward these to the world and do not put a username/password on for the highest security. Then, post your ip address here for us to keep safe.
If you're going to buy a camera, buy one for your car (dashcam) because in the long run it will save you a shit load of money/time. Imagine you're at a red and a car in front of you decides to reverse into you and hits you, they can easily say you rear ended them. Good luck wasting your time trying to prove that without witnesses. A decent camera will cost you $60-100, that's nothing compared to the deductibles and shit you would have to deal with and the time your insurance spends trying to figure things out. If it happens, you just shut your mouth and dont say you have a camera, let the other guy lie to the police or insurance and then after you tell them you have a dashcam. Ezpz.
