best wireless security cameras home image
Fez F
I want to get a wireless camera system for my home. If any high tech thief wanted to sneak in could he apply a jamming signal and basically make the cameras useless for the time being?
Answer
yeah, it is theoretically possible, but it would take a lot of work. I wouldn't expect a thief would have the technical know-how to pull that off.
also, the ease with which they can jam it depends on the type of wireless connection. wifi should be pretty solid. analog transmissions are typically easier to jam. since wifi will have built-in error detecting and rebroadcasting of corrupted packets, it tends to be more robust.

How to Record to PC from a Security Camera?
Shawn B.
Hello! I have been having problems with vandalism and theft in my neighborhood and am trying to capture the scumbags doing it. They've let air out of my tires, stolen garbage can lids as well as a wheelchair, slashed two tires on our old Jeep before I got rid of it, have tried getting into our house numerous times and are apparently quite comfortable around my house due to the fact that I work third shift and thus when the cat is away these mice tend to play.
Right now I have a wireless security camera set up that comes with an A/V output (yellow and white plugs to the front of the TV). I'd like to record to my computer so I can have more efficient recording and playback rather than recording to a VHS tape. Does anyone know how I can record from the A/V to my computer? I have a Dell Dimension 1100 running Windows XP by the way.. I'm guessing I need some kind of an analog to digital converter (is there such a thing?) and some sort of software to play the footage? Can someone point me in the right direction so I can catch these little bastards?
Thanks for your help! I appreciate it!
I've also considered simply setting up a trail camera on the corner of my house in order to record these people in the act so that I can get a conviction and show them that this is not the right house. Does anyone think that's a better idea? I just want these losers to back off!

It can be a bit expensive to get an analog camera to record on the PC. You would need a DVR capture card that could hook the camera to the PC and maybe an adapter for your specific wires. A less stressful way would be to purchase a small home security camera package that comes with a standalone DVR that can record days of footage, a couple cameras and all the cables and wires you need to install the system. There is a headache with trying to piece everything together and trying to get all the components to work. Whereas getting a package you know everything will work together.
I found this one for only $375.
