Well are these analog cameras or IP cameras?If they are analog, you will need a capture card and the hardware to go with it.
If they are IP, you just need a VMS that can handle your brand of camera and then a switch to get everything all together network wise. Probably a POE switch, but again it depends on what cameras you have.
Pictures of your cameras could help us to help you.
These were cheap (under $50 each). Both are dome outdoor cameras, wired, and I was told they would require an expensive time-lapse VCR, so I think all that means they are analog. What do I need to look for by way of "capture card and the hardware"? I don't want to deal with the time-lapse VCR...if I cannot get them to work cheaply (I think the VCR was around $400), I will pass on it.

I am near to completion of my custom-build PC, and stumbled upon the topic of CCTV. I bought two infrared cameras years ago, then forgot about them. I have heard that there is way to work them into a PC so that an expensive DVR is not needed. What sort of modifications do I need to make to my build to incorporate these two cameras. Not looking for anything fancy or way expensive, and I'll mention that I know nothing about CCTV, so try to simplify it. Thanks for any help!

I know nothing about CCTV, so was looking it up on Google, and found this forum. Hope I can find guidance here.
I'm in unknown territority!

No RJ45 jacks, so we can assume they are not modern IP cameras. Exactly what do I need to get them up and running cheaply?
