best security camera for night vision 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?

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.

Can you DISABLE the Night Vision on a security Camera?

I have two wireless security cameras, but both have night vision LED's inside that light up, I wanted to turn those off but still record, so that the camera does not gives its self away despite that the video will be very dark, because its near a street light anyway. Can this be done? There is no switch or buttons on it, so is there a way?
Thanks

Security cameras that use IR light are what you need if you wish to have an area under surveillance without giving away the fact that a camera is viewing the activity. IR is invisible
On the other hand, preventing theft or damage is really better than capturing someone in the act on video.
It is up to you, but I would think that motion detecting bright lights a AND a camera would reduce vandalism
