Re: Converting an older security system from vhs to computer based

Check out CCTV Forum.  They talk about this stuff all the time.

If you decide to use a PC and video capture card (versus a dedicated DVR) ,
beware of the stuff you find on E-bay....lots of fake knock-offs.  Go with
something reputable (yes it will cost more, but it will be worth it).
GEOVISION is a poular brand (I am very happy with mine).
