I got my system from the hardware store. The set I got cost me R900 and it can connect to an old VCR that you can still record with. But a simple “PCI TV Card” can record and if you set it up correctly a simple 80GB HDD can record up to 20+ hours “if the compression is set up correctly” yes the resolution IS small but you don’t need much to start with. Build up a scrappy Piii to do all the recording and it works...
And you need only to backup the bits that you need like people teasing your dog messing with your locks that kind of thing. But yes they do scare people away from messing with your stuff. Now I am not saying it is the best way but for now it works.
