If you already have a decent PC (PIII or better), I would recommend a
Geovision video capture card.  You can regularly get them on e-bay for 1/2
the retail price.  Get a 4 channel model for $200 or less, and purchase some
B&W Xanboo cameras that operate on a single Cat5 cable for video, audio,
motion and limited IR, plus they're weatherproof.  The cameras are around
$70/each.

The Geovision software will allow you to remote monitor via the web, record
on motion and/or schedules, send video or jpegs to your e-mail or cellphone
on motion events, etc.
