No offense, but take WooWoo's sizing with a grain of salt. You can easily do with less storage through careful camera adjustments if the canned system has less than that. Do you REALLY need 30 frames/sec (full motion video) and 6 months of recordings? You can really scale back on the storage needed with motion recordings instead of full time, and also reducing it to as low as 5-15fps (choppy but court admissible and plenty of frames to grab to print out to ID the perp) Remember you dont need to be able to show the judge that he is an awesome dancer... just that he took your stuff.
But if you are looking at a modular recorder that you have to buy the drive separately, Storage is pretty cheap even for NAS/DVR rated drives, (WD purple, Seagate Surveillance, etc) so 4 vs 1TB isnt a huge difference.
+1 on Hikvision. Good stuff. Not cheap, but good.
