Software to run home security cameras?

[SuperFreaky]

I plan to install 4 wired/wireless cameras around my house and hooking them to my computer via a 4 port RCA video capture card. Can anyone recommend a good piece of software that can simultaneously monitor and/or capture from all 4 cameras?

digiwatcher is good. I use it for surveillance and one feature that i especially like is that it can be programmed to automatically delete footage which is x days old. I havent come across another piece of software that has this feature.

Can either of those support multiple USB webcams?

nevermind:

NOTE: Many video capture devices cannot be installed more than once and provide multiple simultaneous video streams from each camera. For example, if you were to installed more than one USB Quickcam camera into your PC, it will appear to any video application including GOTCHA! as one camera. Therefore, GOTCHA! Multicam will only "see" one camera installed. This is a function of the camera not the video application or GOTCHA!. This is why we offer our own video capture cards which are capable of providing simultaneous multiple video streams. If you are interested in USB only, then please visit Vista Imaging at http://www.vistaimaging.com. They have USB cameras that can be installed more than once and provide simultaneous multiple video streams. However, since the video is streaming through the USB port is will be much slower than a PCI based video capture card.

Symantec is convinced Watcher is virus! I ignored and it seems legit, thanks!
