Something you could look at (although, this is reliant on a few things
working as intended!)

Logitech do a colour USB Webcam, which is pretty good quality if I
recall (640x480 fast "shutter speed") but more importantly, they
can be
piggybacked through a USB Hub.

If you coupled a few together into a PC's USB port via a hub, then
"tiled" the video windows on the desktop, you could record the
video
via a TV out connection, giving the "four cams at once" view. you
could
even look at the various shreware webcam motion detection doo-dahs out
there...

I know this is kit intensive, but it's probably not £700 of kit. USB
cable length might be an issue as well... :(

Ian.
