As more and more businesses in my area are robbed at I have decided it's
time to get some cameras.

Any recommendations for cameras and a recorder appreciated.

A cheap solution is to use an existing computer, with up to four
cards handling up to four cameras each.

I have a Trust card with 4 video inputs and I used to have it connected
to 4 day/night cameras triggered to record on motion detect.
I found it froze up a lot though and was hoping that a dvr would be more
reliable.

The Trust card or its software can't be any good. Google shows
problems.
I've used a couple of el cheapo cards for some years now on an old
slow PC, with almost no problems. I restart Win98SE every day because
Win memory management sucks.

I'm about to install a couple more systems and I was going to use USB
capture cards. Maybe I should use what I know works.
