GE 45234 wireless camera

[Jumpa]

I was hoping to record from my GE 45234 wireless camera onto my PC.
At present it is recoding to my old VCR but I'm tired of changing tapes every 8 hours. I have this unit

I'm very impressed with the quality of the video it sends and it picks up every little sound outside ..I can pick up conversations several hundred feet away clear as if they were 5' away. It comes with a Yellow & White A/V coax to a standard looking headphone jack that plugs into the receiver box. This A/V coax goes from the receiver to the VCR. Is there a capture card I can get that will adapt it to my PC or my vid card Geforce 9800 GT or the other PC I may be using has a 7800 GT any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you guys n gals in advance both of the video cards have s-video if that matters
Thanks again

You could use one of these or similar capture cards/USB capture devices: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380047%201685342852&bo...ue&Order=PRICE

The problem with some of them is they use your CPU to convert the video and that can slow down the system. A capture card with hardware encoding is a better choice, though more expensive. Some of the bottom end Hauppauge cards might be worth looking into. Or a ADS box that converts to Xvid or similar on-the-fly.

If you plan on recording eight hours of video, that's especially difficult unless you use a high compression codec. And those codecs like H.264 use a lot of CPU power to process and encode. That's where a hardware encoder helps. And you will need a fair amount of hard drive space for eight hours of video.

Another option that I would recommend for surveillance video is a HDD video recorder similar to these: https://www.supercircuits.com/Digital-Video-Recorders/ You can set them for motion triggering, and that saves you from having to look through a lot of blank video. Most use H.264 encoding and you can easily get days of video on a hard drive.

Thanks again redwudz very informative . I went to my cable company today and brought home one of their DVR's hoping I could use it for my needs but I'm having trouble finding a way to record through the DVR better yet getting my Video to go through the DVR. What I'm hoping to do is keep the recorded video a few days "You see a few crack heads moved in next door. This guy hit a million on a scratch ticket and since he has moved in we are finding needles in the road near his house. He is a known heroin user He has cars in and out at all hours they are there for 5 mins then they leave. At least 15 20 cares a night . This has brought a rash of break in's in cars in the neighbor hood It was soooo peaceful here till this terror moved in. So we are all going the video route my Bro just dropped a few grand and had his entire place wired. I on the other hand dont have his loot so I'm poor man besides I just want to watch my car and my front door. My shot gun will do the rest .

Redwudz... will that first card you linked do audio also?
