When looking at the price to product ratio and overall functionality, it seems clear that the Funlux 4 Wireless 4 PoE 720P HD Surveillance Cameras 8CH IP Security camera System 1TB is the clear winner. It does not have the biggest storage drive out of them, nor does it have the best display resolution out of all of them, but it is the only system to include all of the best features desired in a surveillance system all while maintaining an absolutely unbeatable price. For those systems that do have wireless functionality, there systems only included 4 cameras at nearly the same or more than the price of the Funlux. Moreover, those systems with less camera versatility but higher aspect ratios or storage capacy simply do not deliver a competitive price.
