I would like to be able to hook it up to my computer system through my wireless network. Anything affordable out there?
Answer
"Affordable" means different things to different people.
All the IP or Network cameras will do what you want - remember, wireless is not totally accurate. The camera still needs a wire for power.
Do you need color? Night vision? How far does the night vision need to be?
Because the cams are on your LAN, they get assigned an IP address and you get to them through a browser on your computer. There is no "system" - it just depends if you want the computer to record the camera activities. IP cameras are typically more expensive than the analog cameras.
Another method is to get the wireless 2.4 GHz analog cameras and feed the video into a multi-channel DVR like

Since the DVR would get assigned an IP address, then you access the DVR - not the individual cameras. Some of the DVRs require you to buy a hard drive, too - 250 gig or 500 gig HDDs are pretty cheap...

- If you mean hook up to a PC monitor it says it has a vga port that supports up to 1280 * 1024 resolution. The DVR is already a "Network DVR" means that you could connect it on an existing LAN in your home or office and with a proper configuration you can access the device on a desktop or laptop anywhere inside your own local area network. You'll only need the internet if you want your device to be "port forwarded" on your router meaning access your device outside your home &Office LAN through internet on another location (e.g. on a mall internet cafe).
or can i just hook up the dvr and cameras to the computer screen and thats it?
- On the near middle of the page you've posted has the graphical layout on how you could connect or setup your cctv system. hint: the red line indicates how the devices can be interconnected.
If i need a router are there any type of cameras that i can just hook up to a screen with the dvr and thats it?
- There are analog cctv cameras that you could connect its cable directly on a A/V RCA connector on the tv. When the cctv is powered up(usually 12v) it will display its video feed directly to the tv and the tv will display it. This setting will not record anything thus rather just display live feed from the cam.
-The router is only optional if you want to connect your dvr on your existing LAN without it your cctv system will just work fine.
