Analog Security Cameras are connected to PCs via DVR Capture Cards, such as the ones seen here: http://www.apexcctv.com/c-23-dvr-cards.aspx

You take the BNC-style connection from the security camera and plug it into the BNC connection coming off of the DVR Card. Most of the time you'll need to run additional cable between the two.

From there, you can use the supplied software to view & record the CCTV footage.

As a general warning, all DVR cards aren't meant for all PCs, and compatibility must be checked before you commit to a purchase, if that is what you are looking to do.

Network (IP) Security Cameras are accessed over a network via a PC. For this type of camera, you need a Ethernet hub or switch to connect the cameras to via RJ45 Ethernet cable, then you can log into the camera's specific IP address, as long as you are on the same network. To log in remotely, via the internet, you need to set up more advanced settings - but that's for another question.

hook up your web-cam to the computer (or have it long-cord linked from outside) and open an internet browser(anything, Google chrome, fire-fox, safari anything!) and go on ustream.tv it lets you stream anything. Sign up for it. once you've signed up go on my shows, Type in securitycam and add a random number in the hundreds. Once you've done that click broadcast. they will ask you to fill a form. just type security cam in each box. Make up a code if you want to have it private. If not everyone has access to your cam.

For more information on security cams or other computer whatever, email flamelkayleigh@gmail.com

In order to transfer pictures and videos into your computer, you need the chord that came with the camera. Connect the USB connector (or USB chord) to the computer and then the other smaller end to the camera. Turn on the camera- it may not turn on fully because of the USB cable, but make sure it is on. Next, turn on the computer and wait until the box comes up with your camera information.
