wireless wifi

I bought the wireless setup with 4 cameras and a base. I currently have the cameras working in my office. My office is over 120 yards from my home. I want to set the cameras and base station in my home. I have wireless access at my home via radios. Will a wireless router work in my home to connect the base to and, if so, what router do you recommend? I'm fairly ignorant of hardware so please bear with me.

I assume you mean that the internet entry point is at the office and that you access the office internet using some kind of wireless device?

If so then does the wireless device have an ethernet port into which you can plug the base?

What upload and download speeds are you getting at the house?

There are 2 radios. One at my office and one at the house. The radio is outside and the only device at my home. I just need to find a way to connect the base in my home and thought a wireless router that would talk to the WIFI would work.

My download speed is about 14 and upload about 2.5.

A product like this could do the job

I don't mean to be a cheap skate, but is there something that does the same thing but cheaper? I only paid $ 379 for the 4 cameras and base (home shopping network).

Thanks for your help!

If you have WiFi at the house, a WiFi extender should work fine. No need for a router.
