Good Lord, I'm glad I'm not buying stuff from your guy. :)

You spec.'ed a commercial grade solution.  He can get away with a $400 decent
DVR (only needs 3+1 channels), some nice weather-proof dome cams @ $175 ea., and
the illuminators....  that's where he's screwed.  I never understood why those
damn things cost so much.

I'd go with good night-time lighting, maybe even just motion activated flood
lights.
