Network video recorder (NVR) solutions in the market cost a fortune. Just a software license for NAS-based solutions are >$50/camera, and custom hardware solutions are in the thousands of dollars. So I decided to custom build-one.
Total cost: about $140 (including SD card and power brick). **That's less than just software license costs for four cameras** (and there's CPU cycles to spare, for more cameras), and an order of magnitude cheaper than typical custom hardware!
I used a [Cubieboard2](http://cubieboard.org/) (AllWinner A20 dual-core ARM, 1G RAM), a 2.5" 500G HDD, and [Zoneminder](http://www.zoneminder.com/). It can handle four standard-def (VGA) MJPEG streams ([Foscam cameras](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ZPWS4U)) in modect mode (1 zone each) at 1fps, with cycles to spare (load avg is high due to I/O, but each core doesn't seem to go above 20% max, usually much lower than that). *YMMV with different video formats and cameras.*
**Cubieboard parametric model.
