My computer doesn't have a graphics card so the feed would have to be USB and the video quality doesn't have to be fantastic but obviously decent enough to identify criminals, maybe a 1pfs video would be enough or would this be too jerky? Can anyone recomend what camera I would need and any software that I would need too? I have a 160gB hard drive so how much video would this hold? What size HD would I need to record 24hrs worth of video.

Thanks in advance.

There are a lot of solutions out there and a lot of things you could consider...do you really need 24 hour continuous recording or could you be fine with motion-activated recording...do you want a wired or wireless solution? You can find some solutions under $200 and you could always purchase an external hard drive to save recordings to. Also the amount of space the recordings take up vary based on the resolution you record at and the system you purchase, so it would be hard to state emphatically how much space you'd need.

You might find a solution like this to be what you are looking for: http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/wireless-camera-quad-system.html

my pc is vista wireless i have plugged and play home security camera can someone tell me how to used my pc to down load the video from the security camera to my pc and play it back on my pc i thank you very much for any help that you can give me nettie

Unless the security camera has some sort of storage medium for the video it records, you won't be able to download it. I'm guessing that the camera came with some sort of software package (if it's a digital camera) that will allow you to monitor what the camera is recording on the PC. This is how most home and medium security camera systems work. You may even have the option of archiving the video you record. GL

I'm not particular with operating system, as long as this PC will function as it is intended, this will be used in our security surveillance system, this should be capable of storing live cctv feed, 24/7 day to day operations.

You can record video from a security camera, but it does require some software. It depends on what you mean by special. It shouldn't be hard to come by and it shouldn't cost much if that helps. You can get cameras that are IP based. They would come with the necessary software.

Here's a web site to get you started:

I have a security camera that uses a VGA cable and I want to connect it a VGA PC monitor plug.

Is there such a cable, or VGA box, that allows for RCA video > VGA PC Monitor or converts the signal?

Thank you.

What you want is called a "video scaler" and they are not cheap. What they do is upconvert video to VGA:

It may end up being cheaper to buy a video monitor. Small flat screens with video input are getting much cheaper:
