USB is a desktop solution. It is for desktop peripherals, not for powering
outdoor cameras.

Multicamera systems do no use USB. In fact, most USB camera drivers have
problems if more than one camera tries to use the same driver (ie. so your
cameras would have to be different manufacturers or models). So that means
either using a dedicated multichannel DVR or PCI card and a computer.

There are also IP cameras (and the wireless IP ones), but their capture
ability and resolution suck unless you're going to pay $$$ per camera (plus
the software needed to manage a multi-camera setup).

Don't bother with wireless analog cameras, they are a joke unless you buy
professional tranceivers or are only sending about 20 feet and don't have a
cordless phone or wireless network.

Anyway, you don't really say what your price range is or what capabilities
you're looking for, so here's something super cheap (watch for URL wrap):

There are plenty of cheap 4 and 8 channel PCI cards out there in the
closeout market.
