Security System with different recording times?

I'm looking for a security system where I can have different recording periods on each camera.

I was thinking to have around 8 cameras for my business where some would be on only during business hours and others to be on all the time. I also want the data on certain cameras to be held for X months before deleting footage.

The way I see it is that I would have to have multiple DVRs to do this.

I was just wondering if there was already a system in place that didn't make me do that though.

    A DVR is enough. A DVR can control 32 security cameras at most.

    As for you want to keep the footage for X months, it depends on how many cameras you run and what video quality you use. Normally, a 500GB DVR with 8 cameras can last for a month.
