With the falling cost of miniature spy cameras, which can be found all over the Internet, do-it-yourself home security is becoming more prevalent in American homes. You may wish to install a camera outside your house to catch intruders before they attack or install one in your nursery to watch over your baby. With a few easy steps, you can turn your personal computer into a home monitoring station in just a few minutes time.
Instructions
1. Place your wireless spy camera in the location you wish to monitor. Hide it if you so choose.
2. Insert the video capture card into your PC. There should be a slot on the side if it is a laptop, or the center of the computer tower if it is a desktop.
3. Connect the composite wires of the camera receiver to the video capture card.
4. Install the video capture card's software, which should be on a compact disc that should have been included with the capture card's purchase. This is to stream the images from the card on your PC.
5. Turn on the camera and the receiver. The video from the camera should begin to stream onto your PC's monitor.
