Where PC's ever really meant to be a security tool? There are inherent
reliability issues with using PC's for recording and storing large amounts
of video.

Look at DVR's, of which there are many on the market to choose from. They
have all the neccessary features needed for security applications,
especially if there is prosecution possiblities involved. Recordings done on
someones PC will not usually be accepted except for some initial police
investigation.
