There's a company called Dedicated Micros that has a 1U rackmount 320Gb digital security system, runs a stripped down linux, has a groovy little webserver interface, and controls up to 16 cameras on a single unit, and you can cascade multiple units. Also includes external SCSI connector to connect either an external tape device to archive the video, or an external drive enclosure/RAID array... We've got one here, and they even support PTZ cams... It's totally slick!
