First i would thanks the creators of this forum for providing such an excellent platform for knowledge sharing and resources which has helped many a noob's like me in setting up their home surveillance system... Now i have installed 6 IP cameras in my home and all are wireless connected to my router (linksys wrt610n) for recording the same onto my computer.However i seem to have overestimated the router's capacity for transferring all the footage from all IP cameras to my computer and hence the same hasn't worked out as expected.Hence now i wish to buy a DVR (placing it near the router) and use the same for recording.Now as i do not wish to extend wires from all the cameras to the DVR, i wish to know that can i connect the router(which still captures the footage of wireless cameras) and transmit to the DVR over ethernet via lan cable and record the same?? Will the DVR record the footage from all the cameras(wirelessly connected to router) over ethernet via LAN cable or will it record the only one of which IP address which is entered?? In short......is this possible???? IP CAMERAS-----(wireless connection to router)-->ROUTER----(LAN CABLE)--->DVR (for recording footage from all cameras)

thanks a lot for ur detailed reply...will try and shift the PC if possible.....or else wired connection might just be the way to go i guess......... Thanks a lot for ur effort.....yes i did try and reduce the bitrate but didn't seem to have much impact...will probably try hard wiring route now.....thanks a lot again

Thanks for ur reply.... Please correct me if i am wrong but what u mean is that no DVR can record from any input source from the Ethernet via lan cable??? I have 6 WANSVIEW NCB541W cameras. Well initially my plan was to wirelessly record on my PC (router being centrally placed in the house and the PC being in another room). However i overestimated the routers wireless transfer capacity and now can barely get footage from 3 cameras and that too at a paltry 4-5 fps.So yes if nothing else works hard-wiring may be the last option but which will be very cumbersome and hence i require a solution where i can place a recording equipment (like DVR) near the router and connect it manually and record. Thanks for ur reply... As my router is centrally placed (to get the wifi signals from all cameras placed at different corners of house) and the PC being in another room, i was looking for a solution where i could connect the router to a DVR(or any such recording equipment). So yes a PC/Laptop would be an obvious solution but will have to move the same near to router....and that would be the last option if nothing else works....
