How To Record Hidden Spy Camera Video Surveillance On Your PC
Normally when you buy a hidden camera there is a small board camera is built into an everyday item like a Air Freshener or CO2 Detector, Alarm Clock.
The spy camera can be wired which means it is connected to the DVR or VCR using a cable. The camera can also be wireless, in this case the camera transmits a signal to a receiver that is connected to the DVR or VCR. There are many hidden cameras that come in all kinds of devices.
But many people want to use their PC to view or record hidden camera video surveillance from their hidden cameras. There are two devices that you can use to view and record all hidden surveillance viewed by your spy camera. This article will describe these two devices.
1) The USB Video Adapter for PC also known as the DVD-Maker, allows you to watch and record live video and audio from any of your hidden surveillance spy cameras on your computer. In addition to this you can grab images plus have video conferencing capabilities all from the comfort of your favorite PC without having to even opening your PC!
DVD-Maker is an external device which connects your VCR, camcorder or Video Camera to your PC or Laptop. Plug the DVD-Maker into the USB port and you are ready to watch hidden camera video surveillance in a resizable window, right on your PC screen!
DVD-Maker digitizes video using high quality 4:2:2 video sampling. And you can work on applications while simultaneously watching video in a resizable window.
Watch, capture or record live video from your VCR, camcorder or video camera! DVD-Maker connects to any S-Video or composite video source and plugs into your PC or laptop USB port. DVD-Maker video digitizer turns your analog video into digital video, and then sends 30 digital images per second over the USB (1.1 or 2.0) bus.

Cable or adapter for an analog video camera to plug into the computer?
I have an analog video camera, and want to be able to plug it into my computer, what cable or adapter would I need to do this??
Providing the camera model number will be very helpful on a question like this.
Depending on the age of the camera you should have a output jack, RCA and/or S-video connections. Your computer on the other hand will not have these connections unless you have a media computer or a video capture card. If you do not have a capture card or a video input card you can buy one and install that. There are also some external capture/conversion boxes that will accept the output of your camera and allow you to use USB or Firewire into the computer. I do not vouch for the product below but it is an example of something that might work for you.
