I’ve installed 4 samsung surveillance’s cameras. I’ve networked them to see live video from the shop while I’m at home through the internet. I have a simple player that will record 10 mins at a time. I need to record from the time I leave at night to when I get back the next morning. Don’t have much money for further equipment. Is there free or cheap software or something I can get to record as much video as I need for when the shop is closed.
I would love to use the vcr for recording…I need to know how to do this from home, using a video capture card and a vcr? Help me please….

Wow, you are going to have a difficult time resording to your PC, video from 4 cameras for the time you leave to when you return to your shop..that is almost impossible.
Unless you purchase new equipment to record the video straight to VCR.
You can get a video capture card, simple VCR then capture the video to the VCR as it is being displayed on your PC.
Good luck, I think you have brought upon yourself a difficult, but not impossible task.
Just an FYI. A 60 minute video captured to a computer from a video camera takes up approximately 15 gigabyte of space.
Here is a program thatcosts $29.00 that looks like it will do it for you..
