Pretty expensive, but some real good wireless day/night products. http://www.extremecctv.com/mecc.cfm

I agree also. I trialed and errored with a few low light color cameras also from alot of different manufacturers, will post that info on here as soon as I get my home computer back up (mboard fried).

Hi, yes it uses motion detection recording, and it is using the highest resolution for the Kalatel DVRs, cant remember off hand, will have to check (im not on my computer right now, someone elses). No signal problems with the lights, except they give out alot of glare on the products which can make the picture not be as good as it could. The wires are run far from the lights in the drop ceiling, would have prefered in conduit but the customer preferred it run loose

plug and play: Kalatel has a few single channel DVRs, ranging from 1- VDR - around $800 and Retail and up - no LAN (no pc Connection/remote video), no Audio - 40, 80, 160GB 2- DSR-1000e - around $1400 retail and up - Optional LAN, Optional Audio - 40, 80, 160GB 3- DSR-2000e - around $2100 retail and up - LAN, Optional Audio, S-VHS Output - Keypad Input - 40Gb - 1000GB.

if you are s witching from tape then I imagine you are looking for maintenance free and ease of use. In that case id suggest an all in one such as the Kalatel StoreSafe, or another brand. They are just plug and play and ready to go. You rarely have to go back to them once they are on a Line conditioner and a UPS. Whatever advantages a PC board system has, the biggest drawback is that it is a PC and we all know how reliable windows is! )
