ArmchairArchitect 0 Posted September 26, 2016 Trying to setup an inexpensive single outdoor security camera for my garage, which is a good distance from our house. We have a spare PC which we could load an existing copy of BlueIris recording software on. Being that analog outdoor cameras are MUCH cheaper (eg. $15-25) than ethernet/IP cameras ($75-100+), is there an inexpensive way to bring the analog video to the PC (ie. via a USB adapter) with good quality/results? Here's just one example of a camera I'm looking at: https://www.amazon.com/Annke-Security-outdoor-Weatherproof-Housing/dp/B0169YE894/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 but if there is some other inexpensive outdoor camera that could more easily connect to a PC, I'm open ears. Thanks in advance for the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in advance for the help. You are wasting your time. Buy an ip camera- they 50 dollars wont kill you. You will not get a good image from that camera. Annke also post fake reviews for their products on amazon. http://fakespot.com/product/annke-900tvl-cctv-camera-in-outdoor-fixed-home-security-day-night-camera-ip66-weatherproof-metal-housing You will futz around with a crappy analog camera and a half baked solution that will never work well. Also not that if you are using an old inefficient pc, it will be cheaper to buy a replacement pc or simply use an NVR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunnyKim 2 Posted September 30, 2016 You may search USB DVR at ebay, amazon, alibaba. You may not buy the USB DVR below U$10. It may look like a pen, a tiny DVR. That's mainly for 1 Channel. You may buy the diffrent kinds, USB DVR, near U$20, 4Ch to 8 Ch. You may use it for a single channel. Yes, you may buy analog cameras below U$20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
