if its wireless surely you just use the software that came with the camera on one of the pcs that are on your wireless network

no its a camera that is meant to record onto a vcr

theres a reciever that puts out a video signal that you just plug into the front of the tv

i want to plug it into my computer instead and record it onto a hard drive

It depends on what kind of cables you use to plug the receiver into the tv with, and probably you'll need an GFX card that handles TV-IN kind of stuff.......

I dunno what the signal is but whats the cheapest solution to do what im trying to do?

an a/v capture card, they go fer about 40-50 at the cheapest when they are on sale, after rebates, they are usb, or pci. look in your local computer store, you could always just use a webcam with special software instead

HMM
i WENT ON X 10 AND THEY HAVE A PCI CARD THAT U CAN PLUG UP TO 4 CAMERAS INTO FOR

around 70 so maybe thats the way to go
It seems that that one is tailored exactly to the way i want

Im trying to set up surveilance of my garage and my parking spots

I got the camera on ebay for 37 shipped and damn if isnt the est buy ive had in a while

it has a very clear picture and it has nightvision that actually works

maybe im behindthe times with this stufff but thats a good deal to me

I figureed for under 100$ i can keep an eye on my cars at all times

ill have to go to x 10 again
