Hi
I want to setup a cctv surveillance for my home on my own. So first I want to start with one cctv camera and then increase the number.
I have an analog camera, laptop with linux and zoneminder installed. The camera has AV output with a 12V DC power input.
I am confused how to setup this analog camera to my laptop so that I can use zoneminder to process/record videos.
As I don't need to record all time, so I don't want to get any dedicated DVR/ expensive converter to convert analog to ip camera.
I was thinking if anyway AV output signal can be carried through CAT5/coaxial cable and use converter like BNC to USB or use RJ45 to connect to my laptop. Is it possible? Please help me with some information so that I can connect this camera with minimum expense.
Thanks in advance for any kind of help.
