Most Internet descriptions show that a hidden camera comes with a wireless receiver for connecting to your TV or old VCR. For one thing VCR’s are a thing of the past. Many people have thrown them out for DVD players, plus you can’t even buy one in the store even if you had to.

Most people want to have remote access to their hidden camera (s) to see what’s going on with their house, kids or elders when ever they are at work.

Here we present 3 sure fire ways to connect 1 or more hidden cameras to your computer.

The first method requires you to have a desktop or tower PC with an open PCI slot on the mother board. You will get the board below and open up your PC and install it. If you feel uncomfortable about messing with your PC, you can also take it to a repair store or a PC clinic. They will be glad to help you out. Just look in your yellow pages or local classified ad’s. Their all around and will only charge you a small amount.

The second method is a combination of software and a device called a GrabEEII. The VISEC surveillance software package also allows you monitor your camera remotely but it is not in real time. More like snapshots.

 Until now, it was quite expensive to maintain and implement such security systems because they were tied to expensive recorders and other fancy hardware components. CCTV Systems and other high-tech surveillance systems can cost a lot of money. But now, with VISEC you can turn your computer into a powerful surveillance system at a fraction of a regular security system cost. VISEC has no monthly fees and, for a one-time fee, you can receive a lifetime of FREE updates. You should feel safe knowing that with VISEC you are in control. VISEC.

Also note: When remote viewing through the Internet, you will get a snap shot every 6 sec. so you are not actually viewing live video.

1) VISEC Surveillance Software – next generation computer program turns your home or office computer into a powerful, global-wide video surveillance system in 5 minutes. Simply install the program which takes 5 minutes. VISEC can record up to four cameras at once!

2) A Quad is an accessory to your surveillance system that splits a video monitor into 4 screens. Connect 1-4 Wireless Receivers you get free with your wireless hidden camera or RCA cables (wired)  to the Quad.

3) GRABBEE II converts analog video signal to digital through your USB port. Connect one end to the Quad and the other to your USB port on your computer.

 The 3′rd method is to use the USB Video Adapter for PC. It allows you connect a hidden or spy camera to your computer and has recording software. This is also the cheapest solution. The DVD-Maker is an external device which connects your hidden camera to your PC or Laptop. Plug the DVD-Maker into the USB port and you’re ready to watch video in a resizable window, right on your PC screen! Click on the icon on the left to see a connection diagram.

So what’s the best way? If you looking for real time remote access to your hidden camera go with the GV-800 GeoVision card. It has the most power surveillance software.

If you don’t have a PCI slot available or want to use a laptop, use the VISEC/GRABEEII or USB Video Adaptor solutions.

Now you have 3 solid methods for monitoring your hidden or spy camera video from your computer.
