best security camera night image
r5bpitre
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?
Answer
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.

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