$3895 is a lot too much.
I would go with the 2MP Starlights. These (x6 = 1061.94) are what I would recommend. The seller is extremely reputable, and I've bought a significant amount from him over the years.
I would go with this NVR, with a large WD Purple hard drive. $500-520 Go with the 16 channel, as you can always add more cameras, and not need to get a new NVR.
You can get a 8 Port POE switch for around $160.
I'd go with a bigger screen, 32" minimum.
