I want to setup a security system in my house

I want to setup a home security system.

I want to install 2-4 Cameras, over IP so I can view remotely.

I have an iMac from late 2007 that I want them all to connect to and store the recordings.

How can I do this? What should I use to keep the costs down? Cameras, setup, software etc..

I want two cameras pointing out my window, and one near my front door etc..

Any suggestions on some kits ready to go? Thanks!

I am currently using icamsource and my Imac..but it won't let me use more than one USB cam at a time...If I have to purchase a windows computer I will.
