DVD or Hard Disk Recorder for CCTV?

Hello,

I have just acquired a CCTV system that uses a scart socket to plug in to TV. I want to be able to record the pictures live but for as many hours as possible, I guess a week would be handy if not too expensive! The recording is just in case anything happens on the CCTV and I need to use it as evidence, time and date stamp would be handy.....I also need to be able to output to a DVD or the PC the evidence, obviously DVD is fine in itself, but how so with a HD?

I have looked at proper CCTV but they are too complicated and too expensive, and seem too keen on compressing the evidence, which sort of defeats the object I'd have thought, as evidence will need to be as clear as possible!

Not fussed about recording TV/Sky etc, though I think these systems will suit my needs at the best price.

Any ideas, or am I missing something?
