Analogue CCTV Cameras into a computer?

Recommended Posts

Hi, I am new to this forum and I'm not sure if I have posted this in the correct section.

 

Basically I have an old B&W CCTV system set up, but the VHF recorder has recently died. I was wondering if I am able to connect my cameras to a computer in some way, and record onto the computers hard drive or onto DVD's? I would only want to run 1 or 2 cameras which were previously connected to the VHF recorder. Quality would not need to be ultra clear to anything, just clear enough to be able to see whatever the camera is pointing at.

 

Thanks,

Louis

There are loads of solutions for this - four-channel DVR cards with software abound on eBay and other such sites. There are also plenty of more "professional" grade solutions available from the vendors on this site, from "standalone" DVRs (basically, a digital replacement for your VCR and switcher/multiplexor) to higher-quality cards and software to put in your computer.

Exactly right. Get a capture card of your choice and compatible software... you'll be GTG.
