CCTV 4 cameras night vision - help!

I have recently purchased a 19-Inch AV DVR CCTV Combo Recording System from Maplin and am now looking to buy separately some cameras.

This is where I get lost!

Specifically i'm looking for a 3 or 4 camera set-up, preferably wireless but essentially with minimum 10m night vision as they will be used mainly during the dark. I think they need a BNC connection (spec below for the DVR). Do you know of any cheap (ie, less than £200) set-up's that will do the job? I have been looking in the obvious places like ebay but the write-up's don't look very convincing regarding their actual capability.

Thanks so much for any help!! :T
