I have no idea how (nor do I think its possible) to connect my GE Home Security camera to my Mediacom or DirecTV DVR. So the only way is to hook it up to the PC which I have done.
This is the camera http://www.jascoproducts.com/products/pc/GE-Home-Monitoring-Wireless-Color-Camera-System-with-Receiver-47p571.htm#details
And this is how I hooked it up http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3504456&CatId=1428
I have tried the GBPVR DVR software and have no idea how to set it up. the Sabrent USB video/audio capture came with Coral VisualStudio 12 and it shows the camera and I am able to record... However, at night or when we leave we have to record and it takes up nearly 8gb for 7 hours. We simply don't have that much HD space, nor do we want to spend extra getting a new HD unless we get a DVR software that lets use record 2 hours at a time, with a timestamp so we know what time it was recorded.
Is there anyway you can help me? I am tempted to get a Security DVR but I don't want to pay $400+ for one if nothing ever happens. So right now what I am trying to do is either use my current DVR's as the recording device. or my PC which I have succeeded but need different software that finds the device.
Please answer asap :)

Interesting question. These days, most homeowners don't use a DVR for home video, and DVR's are left to the commercial applications where they really need to have constant recording for cash registers, employee security, etc. Today's smart cameras are wireless and have motion analytics built into them, so that the camera only records (usually a clip, like 15 seconds) when activated by motion. You really don't care if nothing is going on, right? The clips can be sent directly to you. These cameras can also be viewed remotely from any web-enabled device - and what's even better, the video clips can be stored remotely by your service provider, where you can access them. See? No DVR required.
What I am describing is actually the video service that we include with our cellular and interactive monitoring services: next-gen features, integrated with home security Here is a link to the video section of our web site:

This may not be a viable solution for you, but just want you to know what's out there, and the direction the industry is taking.

Remote Security Camera?

Planning on buying a home, I want too put a Security Camera in the home so I can monitor the home. Looking at 800 miles.
I understand the principle of the camera. What is a needed too support the camera? I presume another computer? Then what links that computer location "B" too my home Computer location "A" Again I presume the Internet,Does that link have too be high speed,can it be dial-up? But what happens at location "B" when I have a power failure and I have too re-boot that system,how is that done? And what program bridges the two computers too gether, If on the internet is this secure where only I can monitor?
Answer
There are a couple of ways that this can be done.
The easiest way would be to use what is known as an "IP camera." This is a CCTV camera with a built-in network adapter. You plug the IP camera into the internet. In a residential application, this would typically require a high-speed connection, such as DSL or cable. The IP camera is assigned its own IP address (such as 12.123.45.123).
At the viewing end, you would need a standard personal computer with an internet connection. To view the camera, you use a standard web browser, and enter the IP address to connect to the camera. There is usually a log-on screen that requires you to enter a username and password before you can start viewing. Some IP camera manufacturers also have their own software for viewing that work like the web browser but offer additional features.
So with the IP camera, you would need just the camera and an internet connection at the house, and just a standard PC with a network connection at the viewing location. With this arrangement, you could view the camera from anywhere in the world. The IP camera would pretty much restart itself in the event of power failure so there would be no issues with rebooting, etc. just so long as the network connection was intact.

Your second choice would be to use what is known as a "remote video viewing system". This requires the use of a video transmission unit (VTU) and one or more standard CCTV cameras. You plug the cameras into the VTU, and then plug the VTU into a standard phone jack. If you have ISDN, that works best, but a regular telephone line works also.
At the viewing end, you would need to have a standard PC that had a dial-up modem. You would need to install viewing software that came with the VTU on this PC. To view the camera, you simply launch the software and click a button. This establishes a connection with the VTU and the other end and allows you to view the camera.

The IP camera with high-speed connections connections would allow you to view real time (or nearly real time) video so would offer the best viewing experience. The remote viewing system doesn't require high-speed connections, but typically offers less than real time video viewing.
