With the cost reduction in computer hardware and software, items that used to be
for the rich and wealthy are now within the reach of the average consumer.
Virtually every suburban house in America now has a security system installed.
But theft still runs rampant in these houses. So what is the solution to the
problem.
Many people have turned to Surveillance Camera systems. These systems were
previously connected to a looping videocassette recorder system or tape system
and took up considerable space and cost a considerable amount of money.
The current systems on the market from Vdocapture and others allow you to use
your home PC with an upgraded video surveillance card to record all the
happenings in your home. No longer will you need to worry about the people
attending your party or that wayward concern that the nanny is not taking proper
care of your children. With the current systems available from Vdocapture and
other manufactures. A standard computer system can be converted into a complete
surveillance system.
You simply mount a Surveillance card supplied by Vdocapture into your
computer. Then run the cable from the Vdocapture Surveillance Camera to the Card
and you are ready to begin your integrated home surveillance. With the proper
Internet connection for your Surveillance Camera system you will be able to log
into the IP port and watch the video on the camera.
With an upgraded Vdocapture surveillance card you will be able to connect up
to sixteen cameras for surveillance, not just the single card from the old VCR
days. Your limitation on the amount of video you capture is limited to your hard
drive space.
The Digital Video Recording occurs in a compact format allowing you to
capture days of video on a terrabyte drive. This video can then be exported for
future keeping and documentation or deleted.

by manufacturer. Vdocapture a prime manufacturer for these systems sells

you are out, as you will have recorded evidence you can review when you get
home. The surveillance camera will send the babysitters every move to the

recordable signal.
