I have considered a dedicated pc for the longer term. What I was thinking
would be an old P3 system and fit a large HD & capture card. This pc would
have no monitor, keyboard or mouse, only the CCTV connected.
I would setup this dedicated pc on my LAN so I can access the captured video
from the pc I would normally use.
Appreciate your thoughts on this.
TIA
