In situations such as this, to avoid video loss it's important to test the camera in various locations around the premises that you want to record video to identify areas where the signal will be strongest and get best reception.

Another issue with wireless cameras is they can sometime pick up interference from other wireless devices.

Whats the best way to do that getting the Best Quality? should I burn the dv disc to the PC? My PC has a TV tuner card, I heard I could use that for something? What software do i use?

I use Firewire to import video from my Sony Handycam to my PC. It works fine. Please check your PC and camcorder manual to see if firewire ports is available. If yes, just buy a firewire cable and you are all set.
