how can I best use a PC or laptop to record cctv

Recommended Posts

Hi all

greetings

this is probably the wrong place to post if so apologies .

 

I would like to record movement inside my kitchen and outside the cat flap in the kitchen door. I would like to record it to a hard drive preferably on a deadicated laptop .

 

One of my cats has been seriously injured twice now whilst I am away at work and at night. I want to be absolutly sure that it is a roving Tomcat and not my other cat.

 

I have a 4 way USB camera input and a miniature wireless camera and receiver .

 

How could I ensure that I would only record when there was movement ie a cat comes through the cat flap? Would it be best to use hardware ie a pir or PC software? If software can anyone suggest something suitable please
