The $8000 is a teaser rate for this pilot program. On the Crowdtilt page[1], it says:
VMA Security Group will only continue the patrol beyond February 2014 if 250 households have entered into contract at $20 per month, renewable and paid at six-month intervals. If we sign up 250 households at $20 per month for the four month trial period ($82.05 per household x 250 households = $20,513), that will put us in position to have service continuing beyond February 2014.
$5000/month (250 x $20) would be the monthly fee after February. 12 hrs x 5 days x 4 weeks = 240 hr/month, so that comes out to $20.80/hr gross salary.
