If I have a desktop with monitor connected to internet (ready to run 24hours). I wd like to setup a home CCTV network (DIY) so that the monitor will always display the streaming video…What components should I buy? Is there any special card to be plugged in to the mainboard to accept video signal from multiple cameras? Please advise, thanks!

p/s: I wd give up wireless IP camera since they are too ex!
p/s: The reason I mentioned that the computer is connected to internet is because, it wd be best if the images can be viewed from internet!

Please advise me the suitable range of software and hardware to achieve this! Thanks!
Oops. Most importantly, hard disk recording!!

P/s: Web monitoring can be excluded. Most importantly is a good capture software..and good hardware combinations! thanks!

I am thinking of 3 external cameras connected through a video capture card to my home pc. Are there any pitfalls, should I install a dedicated hard drive, which control software should I use, what is a sensible frame rate, hardware sourcing etc.

My first question is will it work on my pc ?

its a compaq presario sr1420nx

Does it meet the graphics card minimum requirments ?
