In the same location of the cameras, connect them to a PC, install a media
server into the PC, then use a media player software or a specialized
software that can play & display multiple video streams simultaneously to
connect to the PC with the cameras.
If the PC is on a remote location, you'll need to open one or more network
ports from the PC's firewall. And don't forget to set a strong password for
accessing the media server.
