Hi,
I finally made up my mind after a lot of googling and reading - chose the following product from Hikvision, times three:
http://overseas.hikvision.com/en/Products_accessries_157_i5608.html
Next step is to find a suitable NVR. My thoughts are that it "should" be Hikvision also since they would work nicely together - but I have a feeling that I'm a little lost here with these NVRs.
The system is going to be hooked on to a 4G/LTE/HSPA+ connection and I would like to keep the amount of equipment to a minimum simply because the more equipment the more complicated the system will be.
At the moment I have a solid connection with a TP-Link 3G/4G Router and a 4G USB-modem. The question is how to build a consistent system that is reliable under these circumstances.
A separate NVR from any manufacturer and a basic RJ-45 connection with the TP-Link or something else?
Found this, but where to buy such equipment and are the prices just out of normal peoples' reach:

How does that even work? Is there a sim-card slot and an internal modem or does it operate through USB-modem or wth?
Just a little scared of port forwarding and general installations if there are several different components from various manufacturers and multiple routers / switches - and everything depends on some USB-dongle 4G-modem. Not good.
And how about accessing the NVR with OSX and iOS? Would there be any preferences? Read about SecuritySpy but that would need a separate mac mini or something... too expensive and not enough HDD.
Thoughts, ideas, comments?
Cheers!
