Does anyone know how the conversion works for recording? How big do I need to make 10days?

Hi all, I was on another forum and someone was kind enough to point me to yours. Well I have a budget. I need 1 camera and a dvr the will go for at least 14 days. The camera I found is 1/3" lens Super HAD CCD, from what I understand the CMOS is crap, and 1/4 to 1/3 is bad too, but the one I found is the best I could find with my budget. My budget is 250$. Someone actually recommended this one [edit by mod-store link removed] But I found this one on new egg, and new egg has never ripped me off. I just can't tell which one would do better? or if there is some better one out there for the price [edit by mod-store link removed] This is the DVR I found. [edit by mod-store link removed] My other question is......Are the video recorder compatible with the any of the cameras?, are there situations where two different products just don't match? And how can I tell? I have been doing a little reading on these things and I can't find anything that tells me otherwise.

Am I wrong in thinking that everyone will always say what you got isn't good enough? I was looking at some alternative DVR's. I'm gonna stick with the camera I picked out and learn the hard way(or maybe it's everything I wanted), but I will look at a better DVR. I was looking at this one... (I guess I'll remove it for the Mod,lol) But I don't actually know how to tell if it is full feature. Can you bring up some examples of full feature online? What does Dahua mean?
