I would think that the just announced "DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder" inside an external thunderbolt case such as the ones from sonnet http://www.sonnettech.com/product/thunderbolt/ would do the trick.
Worth a consideration would be that HDMI limits the distance between said card and your cameras to a few meters before becoming unreliable, so you might want to look into the SDI version of this DeckLink Quad card if you need longer cable runs (and throw in a few HDMI to SDI Mini or Micro Converters on the camera side).
And you would probably need a rather strong Mac to handle it. We used our DeckLink Quad card with a maxed out 15inch 2015 Macbook Pro to record 4 streams of 1080i50 as ProRes422 (it handled it fine, but would struggle as soon as we would step up to 1080p50 already).
Cheers,
Daniel
