I'm quite a novices when it comes to security and spent weeks lurking around forums trying to find the best cost efficient setup for a security system. At first I didn't chose an NVR and decided to get a Defender 8 channel 2 TB DVR with 4 600 TVL outside cam ( was suppose to be 800 TVL but they gave me the wrong cameras) & 4 800 Tvl Dome Cam. After receiving them today and testing it out I have to say it looked bad at first glance and after fine tuning and checking other cams. The noise and grains were all over the video and looked horrible for 48dB. The night vision however looked pretty good. So to make things short I am now looking at a NVR build and going to return the Defender system back so please any help and feedback would be really appreciated!
Build: 8 Channel NVR + 2-3 TB with 6-8 Cams 4 outside + 2-4 inside, 3 MP Cams; I already know how to port forward for Remote view but any security tips would be appreciated although with my Verizon 4 GB limit I don't know if the NVR has a Email function where it sends you an alert and a picture if motion is detected; Also would like if possible motion detect. Router is a 3801HGV and is placed in the living room but the NVR will be in my room. Spent about $620 on the Defender 8 Cam with 2 TB so I am willing to spend about $800 range for the NVR build due to money budget. I also have a guy I know well I'm paying to wire the cables through my house so that's about $100 put aside as well. Most of these are amazon because I may go and get an amazon card to get Special financing option as it won't eat my wallet whole.

Switch: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B003CFATT2/ref=nosim/ipctk-20 ( It's hard to find a 8 POE Switch without murdering my wallet and that is reliable though this is more of a 4 POE switch) or I can get a 8 port switch and 2 of the 4 port poe switch

Monitor: Will be connecting to my 40" Samsung TV via HDMI
Any Feedback and opinion is greatly appreciated!
