I am looking to set up a security camera system on the exterior of my home. The basic requirements are 4 low light cameras (they can be assisted with motion lights if needed) and a way to record the video when they are activated. I need them to be motion activated, however having the option to have them run solid would be nice. I'd like the cameras to be wireless as running data cable to a few of the locations will be difficult. I also need a DVR of some sort. I prefer a software based DVR that I can host on a server and connect to the cameras via wireless networking (not sure this exists). What are my options? Am I dreaming with the wireless?
I won't state a budget because I want to explore my options. I want to do it right but not spend a fortune either. This doesn't have to be a boxed system I am open to buying individual components.
Edit: I am a software developer so I am open to writing a software based DVR as well...
