Hi all, which do you think is the best bullet HDcctv? Do you think the ever focus is up to par?

Hi All, I keep my boat on an empty plot of land which is somewhat isolated. I've recently had that boat stolen and no luck in recovering it. I'm working on getting a replacement but I'm first trying to design a CCTV system on the land. I've attached a map that shows the dimensions of the house lot. Red Dots The red dots are locations where I am placing a 12 foot light pole with a 200watt Metal Halide fixture on top to keep the area illuminated. This is where I intend on placing the cameras to which I have the following questions; 1.) Should I also install twin 150watt motion sensor lights on each light pole to give an extra burst of light if an intruder walks by? I am thinking the following fixture; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000W3UH4O/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00 2.) Should I use regular bullets or Vandal Resistant domes? Please note that this can sometimes be a windy location with salt spray, so that is why I was considering the dome version. 3.) Will IR be required considering the above lighting? 4.) Should I go with an IP based system or HDcctv/regular CCTV combo? I am thinking of having 8 cameras, where at least two of them need to be high resolution (towards the back of the boats) so that we can hopefully get facial features (versus just a shadow). 5.) The green arrows are places where I need the cameras (my guestimate). Green Dot This is where I built a concrete box to house the DVR or NVR (which ever option I end up going with.) I would like guidance on which of the two options can handle slightly more heat (ie 80 - 90 degrees) inside the box. They were not planned on being AC'ed, but I have designed ventilation into the enclosures to keep a good flow of air through the system/enclosure. Also please note that the central area is a couple hundred feet away from the red dots. The yellow dotted line shows the location of the trench for the cabling. I will want to remotely view these from android, computer, ipad etc. I will have ADSL connectivity. ---- At first glance the system I had looked at was the following; Everfocus EDRHD4H4/4 - Quantity: 1 Everfocus EHD500IR - Quantity: 4 Everfocus EHH5241 - Quantity: 4 I would use to 4 HD cameras for important areas to the backs of the boat, but now I am wondering if I should go the IP route where I can get even clearer imagery. Any help would be appreciated, or even guidance or a referral to someone who can design/quote this system. The budget is around $3000 - $4000 total (DVR, cameras, etc). Thanks!

If I went the HDcctv route, how far is too long for a run back to the DVR? Is 300ft still okay?
