I found this system on eBay

Just needs the cams.  My dad said he saw one for $500 with cams and my 
guess is that it too is "Imbedded" Linux.    That would be nice. 

I looked at using ATV but I'm not sure how that would fit here.  First, 
I'm licensed and he is not.  Second, I'm using it to monitor his 
premises 24x7.  Not really a fit for ATV.

Can you comment or anyone else here in the IR cams that are sold on eBay?
You can find them there or on a site like www.409shop.com.  What should 
I look out for?  Number of LEDs?
