How to use old PC to conect with security camera ?

Oct 27, 2014 7:51PM PDT

I am sure I once read advice on this subject here. I have an old PC which is not required and I want to use it for security equipment.
I wonder if anybody can help. To link this PC with the security camera to see whatever is happening outside without getting out.
Helpful suggestions will be appreciated.

Look in the user manual of your security camera what the requirements for the PC it connects to are and how to connect. Then - if necessary - buy additional hardware and/or software, connect and test.
