 I recently installed a system I purchased at Radio Shack.
http://tinyurl.com/9q9as  It has a control console with remote
capability to teach it to start and stop any device. I have it set to
record to a VCR and connected to a cheap $50 TV from Wal-Mart. I could
also teach it commands used with ATI Remote Wonder
http://www.ati.com/products/remotewonder/index.html  and run any
windows application. My first attempt at installing surveillance
system and didn't want to drop a bundle on pro stuff. I am very happy
but nothing to compare it to really. You would have to read the specs
to see if it fits.  I would be interested in learning what you end up
using or viewing other posts of this nature.
