CCTV: Wireless cameras wtih dvr

[shawn130c]

Not sure if this is the right place for the questions but it cant hurt much to try.🙂
But My dad owns a small piece of property and wants to setup up some simple outdoor cameras to record who enters and leaves the property. We are planning to use wireless security cameras and see how it works before we start getting into something more professisonal. I was wondering if you could use a dvr with wireless cameras, specfically I have a SENTINEL 4 Channel Digital Video recorder and i was wondering if they will be able to record video from one receiver that is connected wirelessly to two wireless cameras (Astak Wireless camera set). Will the dvr be able to record the two video feeds from the cameras eventhough the receiver is only connected to one video input?

Well, it's hard to tell by what you gave us...how does that receiver allow you to switch between cameras?

You'd have to get a switch box, or some sort of multi-view box. It'd basically split the screen up into 4 zones, one per camera, and then a single output to your DVR.

It has a remote that lets me choose the channel i want to view.

I think i get what your saying but do u have any specfic example of the equipment i should be looking into but i was looking over the dvr pdf and it does mention something about a Multiplexer & Quad recording mode switching is that kind of what ur talking about or completly different?
