Ok, I *must* not have made clear what I was asking for. Let me try one more time....
We want an appliance, such as http://www.zmodo.com/4ch-h-264-full-d1-dvr-500gb-hdd-with-4-cmos-480tvl-ir-outdoor-security-cameras-with-11-leds.html,

Not knowing if / how much you're willing to spend, take a look at a Synology NAS, which has Surveillance Station. You get one camera license with each one and then you have to buy additional camera licenses for about $55 each.
Of course you'd be getting a lot more than just a surveillance DVR, so may or may not fit your needs. They are great devices.
I'm researching them. A bit higher than I was looking at - we need to cover two rooms, floors apart, so it would probably be two appliances. I do need to be aware of costs, as this is a US federal gov't agency (non-defense), and there's this grandstanding thing called a "sequester"....
Hello. We are using Kmotion, which as far as I have seen in our setup stores static images (JPEG) every couple of seconds. I don't know many details about it though, as our Physical Infrastructure team set it up and manages it, but they are happy with it.
<snip> Looks like a variant of motion, which, as I mentioned, is a standard CentOS package. That's not the same thing as an "appliance". Think "something we can plug in, just like a printer, but has cameras attached to *it*".
