15 remote sites + 1 central office: need to move data between them

Hi,
I have 15 remote sites with 2-3 employees and 4 surveillance cameras whih create 1gb of video files per day per cam which comes out to 120gb a month.

We have a central office that we would like to be the central storage location for these video files so that we can go back 1 or 2 months if we need to for insurance reasons.

All locations have comcast cable. Uploading dta will take a long time since 15 sites will be sending 120gb of data per month.

Our solution:
Invest in 30 300+gb external HD's and rotate them between each site and the office.

Is there anything else I can do to get the result we want? We are a small company so investing in an EMC with t1's is not possible.

Thanks for any insight in advance.

Speeds are around 300k and this is during the morning when traffic is low.
T1's to each site would be great but the client simply does not have the financial ability to sustain that type of setup.
We decided to go with 2 300gb HD's which will be rotated every couple of months. This should allow us to go back upto 4 months in the past.
Thanks.
