Well it depends on lens more than anything else... 400 ft. Pointing down at people or cars is very different from looking towards horizon looking for storms. A standard Hikvision TurboHD Bullet would work well for that and they are Day/Night. Get a couple and NVR with decent hard drive. Get some outdoor housing with or without heaters and decent mounts. They have PTZ versions if you want to pay more. The regular ones have digital zoom if you don't need PTZ. You'd been under 500/600 dollars.... I will send a picture from one I had installed by airport..
