I want to set up a home security camera that is motion sensitive to record video when it detects motion and record the video on my home PC. I need to know what to buy exactly, I dont' think I have a video recording card. Any brand names that are good would help and where to buy them.

I would like to buy a small security camera so I can monitor my home (indoor) when I'm away in a different state. I already have Skype and a camera hooked up an am online. I do not leave my computer on 24/7; I shut it off at night. What all do I need? can I use the camera I have now or do I need to buy a 'security' camera?

Answer
You need to buy a security camera. Regular cameras do not have the same connections that you would need for a security system. You a DVR, and hard drive INSTALLED, cameras, cables, power supply and splitter. Monitor of course but you can use any monitor or tv screen you already have. Most DVRs now have the capability to view the video when you are away from another pc or MAC or from your phone, assuming that you have a smart phone. They are pretty afforadble and convenient, and provide you with peace of mind.
