We have had this system for a good amount of time but recently a new issue has appeared that I can't seem to figure out. My base station is set up correctly and is working presumably well. The problem is with my 4 wireless cameras, and they apparently can't connect with my wifi and therefore I'm unable to view the live feed. What is my problem? If it helps I recently paid my internet bill so I assume it's not a problem surrounding my internet

Usu if you can use the Live Feed, but the cameras are recording, the issue is flash.

Most browsers default the flash off these days and it must be enabled.

 

On Fire fox, it's an icon that looks like a "lego" block just to the left of the address location... click on this and allow flash and live view works.

A lot of folks seem confused on this.  The cameras don't connect to your home wifi.  The base station creates a closed wifi system that the cameras use.  The base then connects everything to the internet (and your home network) using ethernet.

 

As @TomMac says, you do need to know how to enable flash when you are using your web browser.  If you can't sort that out using his instructions, please post back telling us what browser you are using.
