Hadn't really thought about it until i was at Staples yesterday, but, i saw some ip cams there so i checked my distributor and i can get some IP IR PTZ(or fixed) cams for around $100-$200. Slap a few of those in (since i have about 8-10 spots open on my network switch), slap in a 4TB NAS for storage (ex:Seagate 4TB) at around $125 and you have a nice system (add a power supply unless you have PoE) for less than $600 (4 cameras).
This way is nice because you can start off small--1 or 2 cameras--and build on it (depending on how many network ports you have open) without running out of ports on a DVR or NVR.
