I think I might pursue the Lorex branded Hikvision system @ Costco for $999: http://www.costco.com/Lorex-8-Channel-Full-HD-Real-Time-PoE-NVR-Security-System-with-2TB-Hard-Drive-and-6-1080p-Cameras.product.100048576.html The camera's are rebranded Hikvision DS-2CD2032 bullets and 2 domes. 1080P/3MP, PoE, Good IR and a great image for the price. This averages out to $166 per camera, so you are essentially getting the NVR for free. Picture image, PoE, decent IR and more importantly, these cameras can ftp images to your NAS. I'm not locked into running with the included NVR. Big PLUS for me, as I plan to explore BlueIris and I want to utilize my existing storage space. There are better, more expensive options available but I think these will serve my purpose. Running a total of ONE cable to each camera is tits too.
