4 to 8 economical quad processor B/W open original image

While my future plans are more robust (DVR quad with remote net access) for right now I need to find some economical 4 or 8 quad processors for B/W cameras with audio.



Looking for a economical B/W processor with 4 minimum and possible 8 inputs. Expandable 4's would be nice.



Price with the minimum features are the driving force for this right now. I just need a way to watch at least 4 of these cameras easily for now with out a lot of expense. I will add on and upgrade later even if this item(s) are obsoleted.



At a minimum it should be able:


1) Quad view, selectable between the 2 sets of four on an 8 input
2) Sequence thru input with adjustable dwell
2.1) with audio switching would be a boon, but I'll live with out for now for the right price.
2.2) CHEAP!

The following would be plus



3) Motion detection would a plus
4) Alarm output on motion
5) activate a vcr via IR on alarm/motion

Any thing in the $40-60 range would be great. Even if I had to get 2 for 8 inputs and get a cheap video switch or 2 modulators for now.


Yes, nothing meets my needs

This unit seems to do everything except audio.

Thats nice, but its at least $900 OVER THE BUDGET for this project.

Take a look at his first link -- it is a link to an Ebay auction. The starting bid is $29.95, with no bids and 3 days to go.

How *exactly* is this "at least $900 OVER THE BUDGET"?????

The ebay link is nice, but it has no PS and by the time I get the specs for the PS find a connector, get a PS and have it shipped I can find something cheaper.

The price listed here

is $997.00 and to start thats for a start $900 OVER what I am even considering.
