wireless security Camera Help..can they share 1 reciever?

I have two wireless 2.4Hgz security camera’s i bought..one of them is Astak and the other Sony..but the Astak camera brought 1 receiver..can the Sony and the Astak security camera share 1 receiver? So if put one in the Living room and the other in my yard..will both of those cameras go to the one receiver so i can record? I researched and know for a fact they are both 2.4Ghz cameras…plz help.

    There would normally be a separate receiver required for each camera. Each camera would use different channel settings so that they would not interfere with one another.

    You would then connect the video outputs from the receivers into whatever type of video recording system you were using. If your video recorder had only one input, you would need to use a video splitter or multiplexer to combine them before going into the recorder.

    If they are both wireless, they could possibly share the same receiver if set up the right way. There is some software out there that could turn your cameras on and off. So, it could turn on the yard camera, take a shot then shut off. That would allow the other camera to use the receiver, take a time lapse shot then shut off. It would be a way to alternate cameras on one receiver. Otherwise, a multiplexer and multiple receivers would probably be necessary.
