Question by YesYouHaveScabies: How can I set up a security camera with my capture card?
Hi, I’m trying to set up a personal security camera and am having trouble figuring out where to start. I have a v-stream capture card and plenty of spare pc towers. The card has one av in, and one sv in. Any suggestions on where to start are appreciated. And yes, any tickling sensation you’re scratching is scabies and hydrogen peroxide is the easiest cure (keeping away from eyes). Spread the knowledge- thx!

Answer by J.L.
download capture software, install card, install software, hook up camera ( usually av in )

It is actually an inherent feature of your home security that it caters that kind of application. Better get a home security which has that feature because if you will invent or do something that could make your home security like this, you might spend a lot for expansion gadgets.

How do I prevent my security camera from getting blinded by a red laser?

by Mr Ush

Question by Joe: How do I prevent my security camera from getting blinded by a red laser?
I just purchased a night vision security camera to be used outside and it’s weakness is that it gets completely blinded by a red laser. How do I avoid this or modify it so that the laser doesn’t affect it?

Best answer:

Answer by SgtPepper
Best is to position the camera in such a way that this can be avoided. Red laser blinds the camera not because of the color but because of the intensity in a small area. Even if you use a filter, it won’t help much and with the new laser pointers of different colors it can be even more difficult to use a filter.

Yes. They are called IP or Network cameras.

Here are a few. I actually work for this company. Funny I ran across your post while answering miscellaneous questions. If you ordered from us, your camera would likely pass through my hands.

Another guy mentioned Netbotz. They are proprietary. If you want temperature readings from them, you need to buy their whole system. If you’re going to do that, they are not the best. Pelco dominates the high end of this market, but they cost a fortune. If you want what you asked for which is just a camera by itself with a lot of uploading options and motion detection, I suggest a network camera by Toshiba, Canon, Axis, or Vivotek. If you want insane resolution as well, look at IQ Eye (but costly).

How do I hook up a security camera to my computer, to record?

Question by ryanconnarton: How do I hook up a security camera to my computer, to record?
I have a security camera in my studio but I want to record the video to a computer hard drive instead of a stupid 6 hour VHS tape. How would I go about doing this? The camera provides an A/V type output cord. (red and yellow) Please help me. Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by just me
well if it is recording to tape it is an analog camera and not digital, therefore you will have to get a convertor in order to get the footage to a computer. you will also need a video editing/capturing program. and if you are recording that many hours, you will need a serious external hard drive to store it all on!

My tires got slashed. I know who did it, but have no proof. I need a security camera for outside. I would prefer for it to have a motion detector. Color doesn’t matter & sound doesn’t matter. I need it to be the lowest cost as possible. Thanks!

I don’t know if the best is right, but certainly the easiest to install at the lowest price is the X-10 brand.
