Hi all,
I'm thinking about building a security camera setup for my house. I'd have probably 3 or 4 cameras I'd want to store the output of. I know that sam's club sells complete setups, but I think I could probably build something better for not too much more money. Do any of you guys have suggestions on building the dvr unit itself? I'd probably build a pc running xp just because that's what I'm familiar with, but how much storage space would it need to keep at least a few months of camera output? Any particularly good dvr software out there for me to consider?
