DVR prices do not vary exponentially, and are usually between $2000.00 to $5000.00 range.
The cost of hard drive space is about $1.70 per day of recording on a 30 fps system and $3.40 per day on a 60 fps system. This is just a thumb-rule. So, if you wanted to provide for enough space on a 30 fps system for recording a whole year’s worth of recording, your cost would be $620.00.
On a RAID-based system that provides a fail-safe situation for your data, your cost would increase depending on the RAID level. At RAID Level 5 (which is the safest), your cost would be $8.50 per day of recording (that is, 5 times that of simple hard drive space).
The greatest price variation occurs in the cameras. Depending on the make and other parameters, prices can range from a low $500.00 to $2,000.00 for hi-resolution pan-zoom-tilt (PZT) cameras that can be controlled remotely over the Internet or from a Control Room elsewhere on the premises.
