i seem to remember reading a topic about pci cards for CCTV on here(can't find it now)
i know that pci cards are for desktops, but is there a pci card/interface for connecting to a laptop?
I've got 4 cctv cameras around the house and i would love to be able to
A- stop buying a new vcr off ebay every 2months due to nackered heads,
B- be able to record via the laptop, not onto tape
C- be able to view cameras anywhere via the internet
Who knows about this stuff...?
Thanks

Not really up on home security using pc/lappy ..... but i think you mean pcmcia slot....prolly summat available on fleabay, just use pcmcia in the search string.
Ever thought of getting a Video Recorder with a HD in it instead?
Mines got a 160Gb disk in it.....and records for blinking ages....mines a couple of years old now.....but there pretty cheap these days :y

As said pm NickV6....seems very knowledgeable....top bloke as well. :y

just an old p3 computer with about 125mb ram or more with windows 2000
the pci cards are on flebay ill get you the link for the ones there only about £6 or £7 delivered from hong kong
the program comes with the program i use its a bit of a pain to set up but once done its great
you get motion detection so it only records when there is movement
you can set times for motion detection
lots of different stuff

you can get decent hdd based security recorders for not much cash - certainly seem to be more reliable than the cheaper pc based ones i've seen

I'm using cctv..really costs serious ..so use a high capacity low consumption disk (5400 rpm or less) a low consumption cpu and a silent psu.. and also you can use movement detection .. :y
laptops : never seen any laptop with cctv card..

my computer is on 24/7 and it dont use much electric

you can get a usb 1 that will take 4 cams
you will soon burn the laptop out

is it recording multiple cameras ?
also consumption depends on the harwdare spec.. even if its recording..

mine only records when there is movement on any of the cam's
