I think wired is better. You should consider using the motion
detection feature of the capture card, in which case you don't want
radio interference to trigger a whole lot of useless recordings.

Though looking at the above kit, I'm now wondering about D-I-Y rolling
my own with a security DVR card, cameras and a server box. So if anyone
has done that with cards similar to

I have such a system on an old 500MHz computer.
I have seven cameras, with three of them detecting motion.
I've found that the cameras with a whole lot of glowing red lights are
almost useless. People can see them too easily (and will smash or
steal them) and the light is inadequate. You are better to have 150
watt sensor lights on your property and use cheap video cameras with
no lights on them.
All you need is one camera with motion detection, then you can look at
the other cameras for evidence. You don't have time to watch all the
recordings even at fast forward. I recommend lots of hidden cameras.
I'm waiting for a guy to come back for a thrd time to steal copper
downpipes. There's a new camera two metres away from the downpipe.
I (and the police) already have his rego number.
