We have used VCT Vision's (www.vctvision.com) FTP archiving feature. It
works just fine though the load on the client's network is significant.
The network is almost dedicated to the DVRs, so it's not a problem in this
case, but if you are  sharing the LAN resources between couple
bandwidth-hungry apps, you may hear customers complaints. Another problem
I've seen is that remote viewing seems to degrade the image quality even
further, so you actually have to come up to the DVR itself for any serious
investigation.

VCT's 16-CH 120FPS 160Gb networked DVR has $3,500 MSRP. Depending on your
distributor you probably can get it for $3,000

Good luck!
