On Woot Today: 8 IR camera, 500 GB DVR Home Surveillance System - $279.99 - Amazing

or four cameras, only $189.99!

No, I'm not out to sell cameras or help Woot. In fact, buy the time you see this, they will probably be sold out.

It just strikes me that the cost of entry to spying/securing up the 'ol castle, small business or any location for that matter has dropped to $35.00 per recording eyeball. And, if that's not enough it will also transmit photos to your smartphone

It wasn't that long ago that a system like this would cost thousands. Granted, these may not be the highest quality cameras, but really, look at the features.
