I appreciate the feedback and Im sorry it took me this long to get back - I have seen some people talking about the self contained Costco set ups - 2-4-8 camera systems I dont remember which to stay away from,. Is that a good a place as any to buy a system Any idea what the cameras are worth - -if new in box?

First thanks in advance for any help you can provide Im a new member today and new to CCTV A few months ago I purchased at a yard sale 2 Hitachi VK-C77U cameras and 2 Sanyo VCB - 3374 Cameras. Both are zoom capable - one to 12x I believe they look new in box and Im guessing that work - Look like left overs from a system iinstall. I want to put in a security camera set up for my home and one at a barn in the country. I know I need good cameras but I was thinking I needed fixed power with wide angle. I have no other equipment but these cameras. I have read enough on this site to know that I need at least a 500Gig or better dvr, cable, power supply, etc My question is, should I try to build a system around these cameras or should I put these on ebay and just buy a turn key system. If the answer is build a system, could you please suggest to me the right pieces I need , and where the best place is to get those pieces. thanks
