Setting up wireless security cameras

[bucwylde23]

I am doing some work for someone else.

He has a set of Wireless security cameras that he wants set up to record the video to his computer when he is not home.

The cameras have the red and yellow audio/video connectors (composite).

What is a good PCI card (or an alternative ) for the computer with these connectors?

Is this a good model/brand that will be reliable?

I will also be making a post in the software forum to try to find some good recording software.


He will be buying a couple of 320 GB external Hard drives and a 16' USB cable to sort of "hide" the drives in case someone tries to steal the computer.

Edit: He is using windows vista (not sure on which version, trying to find out)

Wireless Camera should have an Antenna, and a WIFI camera should be able to connect to a standard WIFI and there is No need for a video tuner.

What you described seems to be a regular Camera that connects with RCA video cables.

Yes, they are standard wireless cameras with a receiver base station that connects to a TV through the standard audio/video ports. Instead of a TV, I want to connect them to the computer so that video can be recorded to external hard drives.

One tv tuner card per camera?

 

[bucwylde23]

Well both camera are connect to one base station via wireless, with one set of RCA cables. So I am guessing the base station "splits" the screen in the output. So I will just need one card for the computer

Any thoughts?

This stuff is really "trial and error"
I just set up some web cams at my house, but they're indoor types.

I have a Panasonic BL-C1A (wired) and a BL-C20A (wireless) camera. They can be bought from Newegg. I have them connected to a Buffalo WHR-G125 router flashed with DDR-WRT. I can see them on the web, and I'm recording one camera that's pointed at my driveway. The camera comes with recording software, but for some reason I can only get it to record one camera at this time. The other camera is at the top of my stairs where our dog sleeps.

It's really cool stuff though, I can see my cameras on the web, and my iPhone.

I wouldn't now how to hook up the equipment you have. You'll be lucky if you can get it working. You'd probably have to call a security store, or search the web for the model of those cameras and call them up.

Can anyone tell me if that card is compatible with Vista?
