You have just touched on one of the reasons I keep a "functional" not
necessarily latest version of Win. The following assumes you are
willing to let a box boot Win.

Here is one possibility.

Cameras: good ones $300-800
Modem on camera end: $50
Can have multiple cameras and modem with built-in camera.

Modem on receiving end: $50; use your current if you have one.
Software: <$100. Frame rate arbitrary; one per year? to 300 per
second. Motion detection is in the software.

I can furnish this stuff.
