Help planing my hardware order

Post by nstamoul »

I 've been seeing some sets of 4 cameras and one receiver for all of them on the net.I am guessing the receiver has only one video output,for example something like this http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info ... amera-set/.

My question is how this would work with the capture card.I guess it will show as one video source.So is it better to buy 4 seperate sets of cameras/receivers and one 4 channel capture card or go with the bundle?

Wireless anything is flakey. That being said, I have 5 axis 207W's running in a store that work pretty well as long as I reboot them occasionally. I have a cron script setup to do it a couple of times an hour. Though the pricing's a little different, ~280*5 vs $158 of the one you mention, I imagine the quality difference is significant.
