So I went on eBay and chose all the cheapest components including 4
generic "Made In China" cameras and a generic DVR PCI capture card for
the old PC he already had.
I took pictures of the whole procedure and wrote up a quick guide. If
any of you are looking into installing a low cost CCTV system, it
might be helpful.

The quality of the video is fine considering the very low price but
we're thinking of upgrading to slightly better cameras in the future.
