Hi I got the below system and installed it recently for my parents. It's £150 with free uk delivery so using parcel motel its about €205 delivered
Very easy to install and works well with mobile phone access

SANNCE 8CH 960H CCTV DVR Recorder with 4x 1000TVL 42IR Leds 110ft Superior Night Vision Security Cameras System and 1000GB Pre-installed HDD (960H/D1, HDMI/VGA/BNC Output, 1000TVL Hi-Resolution, Vandalproof/Weatherproof Metal Housing, P2P Technology/E-Cloud Service, Smartphone QR Code Scan Quick Access, PC Easy Remote Access) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00K4WP5LI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_WsnHwb3PS5TY1

4x playback speed would be the only downside imo

That system uses H.264 compression, this should help you work out the storage you need:

brilliant so about 20 days at 1280 x 1024 just wondering about the h.264 encoding , can this be played back via a laptop/computer is transferred via a USB stick ?

It depends on the file format, the 264 is a compression standard, not a file format:
I had a similar rig to that one and the interface was crap
the supplied software for download and file viewing was crap
