The cameras suck. If anyone is setting up CCTV then simple IP PoE cameras and a PoE Switch is the only way.

What would the equivalent set up cost with that method? (Ball park)

If you are buying on a budget just to get CCTV and dont mind 720P on narrow lenses then around £250-£300

IP PoE cameras on EBay go for around £45 each
a 4Port PoE Switch is around £45 again.
Then its the Cat5 Cable to wire it all up which will cost around £50 for few hundred meters.
The Termination tools will be needed too so add £20, Then £10 for a bag of RJ45 connectors.

You will then need a Decent PC with correct software to view and record. Most cameras have the software included and there are many free ones around

Just to let you know. These SWANN stuff does NOT include PSUs, so you need to wire power to each of the cameras.

Unless you use PoE.
