There are 2 types of CCTV cameras:
1. traditional CCTV cameras with analogue video signal output
2. modern network cameras (IP cameras) with Ethernet network plug RJ-45
In case of traditional CCTV cameras you need additional equipment for remote monitoring
But if you have IP cameras installed mostlikely you can easily organize remote monitoring.
With most of IP cameras you can see live video using your Internet browswer (like Internet Explorer) when you type IP address in the browswer. Something like http:// 192.168.1.1
(if the camera as IP address 192.168.1.1).
To record the video you need additional software. There are plenty (maybe 50) diffrent IP video software vendors. For a start you can have a look on software list at http://www.video-home-surveillance.com/
Additionally some IP cameras can send emails with images when motion detectors "sees" motion. In this case you can go without any additional software. E.g. have a look on AXIS cameras at http://www.axis.com
But in case if you have traditional CCTV cameras to make the remote monitoring you will need
a DVR (digital video recorder) with remote access or a DVR board with a special surveillance software to make remote monitoring.

Answer
Assuming you want to deter crime with this camera system, you would want a visible camera (or cameras), cables, a time-lapse VCR or single or multi-channel DVR.
With the price of DVR's coming down, you should be able to get a single channel DVR under $200. The camera and cabling will run you $100 or so.
If you are on a tight budget, consider a package deal like this:

At under $400 with four cameras, VCR, monitor and cabling, it's a good deal. There's a lot of companies in this business now, I'm sure you can find one with a one or two camera package if you want to try and save even more (honestly though, the cameras are about $25 each in most budget packages).
