I think it's worth going for a commercial security DVR - for under $1000 you can 
get a 4-channel DVR, with ethernet and built in web server, video multiplexing, 
inputs for motion sensors on each channel to trigger full-video recording, etc. 
Roughly the cost of a PC, but with a much longer useful lifetime. Have a look at 
the Jaycar range, particularly the 'techstore specials' category, which has 
4-channel DVR's minus hard disk starting at $299 (I've just ordered one of these 
for my brother).

One frame per minute just isn't very useful...
