Hello Everyone,  
  
I'm glad I found this forum. Everyone seems pretty knowledgeable here. I really do need help because there's so many choices I feel lost, plus I'm sort of in a bind and need to purchase a new system FAST. I know that Mitsubishi, Sanyo, Panasonic and Avermedia are good companies. I just need to know specific model numbers for systems that present the best value. 
  
My parents own a laundrymat and their current pc based system died. I'd like to switch them out to a non-pc based standalone system.  
  
I was wondering if someone could recommend a great value based commercial unit. Also if you are a reseller on the east coast please PM me. I need to buy TODAY! I'm located in washington dc.  
  
Budget is 1000-2000. (really would like the best possible value) 
  
Requirements:  
16 cameras 
Remote access  
h.264 
built in cd/dvd-r 
easy interface 
  
The system will be mainly used for remote viewing since the store is run by a manager and i'd like to keep tabs on the employees.  
  
Thanks so much in advance.
