Welcome! Have you considered using a PC and BlueIris?

Thank you both.
I have ,and i actually wanted it ,but its looks (sounds)more complicated for someone that has little knowledge with PC's. Or am I not reading that right?
I'v actually been trying to get a setup for over a year but everytime I start researching one thing another comes up.
Any system suggestions for up to 8 cameras ,run 24/7. @ $2k

Should be no problem @2k... Here's my recommendation for a DYI system: DALEPA RECOMMENDS http://dalepa.pancamo.com/
