I need a system for my home but am a little baffled!

I have been looking for a reputable dealer to purchase a 16 camera system from and I have found this:

I was going to get something from Sam's Club but I found this forum first! My main concern is not overspending. I was looking at Backstreet

but they seemed way over priced. Any advice or dealer recommendations?

1 16 CH DVR = all eggs, one basket.

 

1 16 ch DVR = 16 eensy beensy teeny weeny images on one monitor. not compatible with 62 year old eyes. OK if you have an excess 54" monitor you can tie up.

 

16 CH system = 16 identical cameras with 16 identical lenses. My system does not have 16 identical requirements. I want a tight image at eye level on the safe, and a wide angle up high on the back yard cam. can't get there with 16 identical cameras that will not take different lenses.

 

I have 4 CH DVRs, connected to the network and tied into the cable TV system. RF modulators let me view 4 channels at a time. a wall of monitors lets me view all at once, without needing binoculars to see what I am looking at on a monitor 3 feet away.
