Wireless Outdoor Camera using Base Station inquiry

We have multiple wireless outdoor cameras, each one when purchased came with the base station. My question is, can you use just one base station for all of the cameras, or do you have to use every base station for each camera? Thanks.

    The base station supports up to 4 cameras.

  • Yes it will support 4 cameras but it seems to have a low signal strength with each one you connect. This caused my cameras to lose connectivity frequently. It might be the distance from the base as well. So I have now set up a base for each camera and placed it as close as possible to the camera outside the house. For example on a windowsill near the camera or in the garage for the side of the house. This seems to have improved the signal strength and has stayed unstable connections so far. 

    I really think that's why they are no longer selling wireless outdoor cameras without the base. They just won't admit it's a problem.
