best security camera cable image
Looks
I have about five televisions in my house that are all on the same cable wiring system for watching TV. Can I tap into this same wiring and go to a security camera and be able to watch the camera? Will it work this way, or do I need to run a seperate line from the camera to the TV? I hope I can just tap into the cable company wiring on the side of my house because that's where the camera is....this would be so much easier.

More than likely the answer is "No you can't"
Most cable systems use coax cable, and modern security cameras normally use RCA or TPN/CAT cable.
Also, even if the camera used the same type of cabling as the cable did, the cameras impedence would interfere with the cable signal.
Besides, I would prefer to have the security camera hooked up to a computer or other external dedicated recording device (since I couldn't/wouldn't watch it 24/7 and when I would want it most is when I am sleeping).

How can I record off of my security Camera?

I have a security camera. That has night vision on it. Problem is I don't have a dvr. What I do have is my cpu, a digital cable box that has dvr, and the camera and receiver. Is there anyway I can record footage with these items? If not what would be my cheapest route?

If the cam receiver has a USB plug, it can tether to the computer.
If it's "Plug-n-Play" it should be detected and self power through the USB line.
Then, since video takes huge amounts of hard drive, you want a 'motion detection' software, to capture things that are moving while in the camera's field of view. That reduces the space needed on the drive.
Here's some of the software (it's free):

Hook all of these things up and test it indoors to see how it works, alignment, and so on.
"Save" from the software selected onto the computer, to a folder you create. Somewhere on the desktop is handy to get to.
