David , Brian,

There's a bit of freeware called Splitcam
(http://www.splitcamera.com/) which
will take a video feed and make it
available to a number of windows programs. I used to use it with a DV
camcorder so I could have that as a webcam. It worked fine for that
and may be a solution here but as I don't have any cctv equipment I
can't check myself...

No affiliation etc, just a satified user etc.

HTH,

Tim.
