I'm not trying to be a wise guy , but 150 bucks may be a wee bit of a stumbling block for any decent cameras. That of course is a statement based on how much quality in viewing you want to achieve.
And thats even if you already have a monitor of some kind.
The monitor can be any TV. The amount of viewable cameras is determined by the system you get. That's based on the recorder that comes with the system.
I have the same as Big Boy and am very happy with them.
Sam's had the complete 4 camera system ( Samsung) , expandable to 6 cameras for around 500. Just no monitor. I also have the 16 camera system for the housed and both have been excellent.
Any HD TV works as a monitor. It's just a different input channel on your TV.
If I can be of any more help on these just e mail me and I'll give you all the numbers and other info I have on the smaller system so you can research it on Samsung's web site if you wish.
Good Luck with your project regardless.

Thanks. I'll reach out when I get closer to making a purchase. I don't need HD cameras since the subject will only be 1-3 feet away. I was thinking that some new in box sets from 4-5 years ago ought to be significantly discounted
