I have a LOREX brand, two camera system with a 9" monitor that I've used for 2 years with good results. One camera is trained on the front door (hidden in a big plant) and the other one is trained on the driveway/street. I can easily see who is at the door (which is solid) from a good distance from the monitor. There is also a voice intercom built into the monitor and camera's. Cost was $300 from Best Buy in Lady Lake. I can add two more cameras to the system but I took a different approach to security in the rear of the house. Cameras need to be plugged in to outlets but communication between cameras and monitor is wireless. It works out of the box but you will want to carefully consider where you position the cameras for best view. Better: you and a neighbor both buy the same system and mount your camera on their house looking at your house and vice versa.
