I didn't find any decent quality weatherproof PoE cameras with mounting hardware for much less than that. and the way the whole AirVision software DVR operates is quite slick. it autofinds and autoconfigures the cameras, all you need to do is name them and place them on a google map or floor plan graphic, then you can see where motion alerts are happening on that map and drill in to see whats happening I too prefer CentOS, but wouldn't mind setting up Ubuntu LTS or something for this dedicated task.
