Does anyone know what to call the box that 4 to 8 cameras can plug into? The box allows your pc or laptop to become a dvr and splits the screen for the different cam views. I would really like to purchase one!

Shadozfire,
the team i am member in has bought a security surveillance system, which has 4 cams you can plug into it, and then plug the system into a VCR/DVD system to record what is seen. it supports various of display modes including quad split mode, full screen & picture in picture. it has indoor/outdoor night vision cams. we found it at our local Home Depot store. some can be costly. the one we found "Lorex" is under $500Cdn, which is reasonable.
is that what you are thinking?
it works fairly well.

That isn't a bad price at all. Could I get the specifics on it? I might just have to go pick one up. 
THANKS!

hallo Shadozfire..
simply go to your homedepot site.. for you it's a .com and in canada is .ca, then type in "surveillance systems" and a bunch should come up. check each one. there are some that range in the $1000-2000 price category, but some much simpler and lower in price. we chose a lorex system, and ensured it had night vision capability as well as connections via VCR/DVD etc.
let me know if there's anything else i can help you with. 😁

It is a quad usb port for the night vision cam to hook to the pc they have 4 ports and an 8 port i believe that is what your after could be wrong though lol!!!

For what it is worth you can home security system with monitor at Walmart for under $100.00. I think it works with a VCR. I wish they had the DVD type I would go get one LOL.
