How much should I be paying for ad hoc school pick up and after school care at my own house? ie not childminders or nanny - more like a babysitter picking up once a week max.

There's a proposal to install a security camera and recording equipment to monitor the entrance to our gated development. The best position for both the camera and the recording equipment is to attach it to a particular property in the development. How much rental would be reasonable for the managing agents to pay the owner for this (to be split between all properties via the service charge) and are there any other matters to take into consideration?
