I don't think this is what you're looking for. This item converts a BNC signal to a VGA signal, so you can watch a BNC camera on a VGA monitor. What you need is a video capture card for your PC.

I don't think it will allow you to connect to your pc and record video. Converts your BNC to a PC monitor via VGA

This system takes BNC output from a device and converts it to VGA. Where I work, we use a measuring device which has BNC outputs and instead of having to purchase a specialized monitor with BNC or RCA plug inputs, we now use this converter to take the BNC output and convert it to VGA which means that any old computer monitor can be used, instead of specialty (and expensive) specialty monitors. However, this really does not address what you are looking for which is converter for BNC output to a USB input. I'll ask my IT guy about this tomorrow, it may end-up being a solution for you.

You need to capture video from the camera to computer. There is a lot of devices to do that, for example USB CAPTURE VIDEO.

The cable makes a connection and it works both ways. If you are having recording troubles, it has to be the DVR. There is nothing to add to the cable that would make any difference. I suggest also that you check your camera power to make certain it has all it needs to make the video signal. If you see the video on your monitor, it should be easily recordable by the DVR.

You have got to get the Audio Video Power Security Camera Cable with BNC RCA Adaptor ACBVA150 3JH. I can send you a pic of how to hook it up. If you send me a link to copy and paste it. If you see the pic you will know how it works

Can you please recommend me any recording software to use with this? I just don't know any! :-) Thanks!

You need to have a LAN set up, the cameras can connect either by ethernet cable or wireless. You can record audio and video using Internet Explorer that you probably have already, the cameras also come with a separate Foscam Client program that will do it also. Be aware that long recording times will use up a huge amount of drive space, these are not meant for continuous recording.

If your camera/camcorder records in stereo, this should work but you'll need a special "Y" cord to connect it. The cord needs to take 1/8" female mono (times 2 for Left and Right) and then combine them into a "stereo" male plug that goes into the camera. You can have 2 units for interviews and one will go to the left channel and the other to the right. I've done this several times and it works great. Actually, I use a wired mic and the wireless. You just need to make sure if you use 2 wireless mics that they operate on their own frequencies. The "Y" cord was hard to find but I think HOSA makes one.

I have it hooked to four cameras i purchased from harbor freight...the way i have it hooked up is very unconventional because my cameras need to be hooked to the mini monitor they came with for their power...so i had to purchase different male and female connectors for it to work...i looked on amazon to see what might work for me and went from there...i decided to go that avenue because the quality of both audio and video from my cameras was worth the extra effort. Most cameras can be hooked to this dvr by obtaining the right connectors.If you need additional help...feel free to ask...i know it can get very frustrating.

I only have 3 cameras on one monitor, Not sure the cameras would stream data to both monitors. That sounds like a question for their tech support group. Sorry incouldnt answer.

There are multiple variables that you have to take into account. Are you using 16 cameras or less. Obviously with fewer cameras there is less video being recored. Next are you recording in the highest video clarity... 960 vs. 480. What size hdd do you have installed and do you also use an external? Finally I am not sure if you can only record 16 hours and then just record motion only for the other 8 or not. Unfortunately your question can't be answered easily with out more information. I would look at worse case when you do it though to figure out if its going to last long enough for you.

Mine has sound and it records video and takes pictures. I think if you use a 2GB Micro SD card it would work better. A 4GB or 8GB takes longer to download. I have 3 of these and one is a dud! The other 2 work pretty good for a cheap spy camera! If yours is hissing, you may have a bad one, but make sure the mic is clear of dirt or lint as it may interfere with sound! I also take my card out of the camera and just put it in my PC because downloading from the camera DOES take forever and I still have not been able to set up the date and time on mine. They keep showing 2008 or older dates! If you haven't had it long, contact the seller and tell them it doesn't work right! Mine has sound and it records video and takes pictures.

My computer that I have the software loaded on is a Windows 7 64-bit. The software loaded as a 32-bit application so you will be fine. I did not use the software that came with the cameras much, but instead use Internet Explorer or Firefox to access the cameras. The software is good if you want to see multiple cameras at once. As a side note the software that came with my cameras does not allow recording. I would have to buy additional software to record.

I set mine up to record to a NAS device on my local network. Not using a drop box. The camera set up is extremely flexible with lots of options so I'm sure you will be able to set it up to meet your needs. I went to the Sharx website and filled out their contact form. Had a technical person contact me via email within an hour. Via email I told him what I wanted to do and he told me haow to do it. I then contacted them again after receiving the camera and arranged a time for them to call me. They have really great tech service. He basically walked me through setting up five cameras. So, I recommend you go to their website and initiate a dialogue. I set mine up to record to a NAS device on my local network. Not using a drop box.

Unfortunately, this video capture device does not comply with most American made computer chipsets. It requires a special one manufactured by Renaisis. The manufacturer claims that if you download their software for any USB 3.0 hardware that it will work, but it did not work for my HP and others have had the same problem with different computers (i.e., Apple). You need to go to the Blackmagic website and look for their specific instructions and list of computers on which that device will work. And if it works on the device you have, then call me. I have one available really cheap! I'm stuck with a $100 purchase that I have not been able to use for nearly two years.

I actually got a security camera with it too, but you need to apply power to the camera, receiver (if you have one), and TV all at the same time. If you have a receiver (like I do) you need to plug the VIDEO ONLY (usually yellow plug) into one of the white or yellow plugs (on the TV); If you have a CAMERA ONLY you need to plug the VIDEO ONLY (usually yellow plug) into one of the white or yellow plugs (on the TV). (PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TV DOES NOT SUPPORT AUDIO) It is a bit confusing but the white and yellow (on the TV) are two separate video inputs that you can toggle between each. The RED is the power, just use a standard AC TO DC converter that will fit into the TV plug, and make sure the OUTPUT: 12V --- 1.0A is correct so you don't fry the TV. (there are different sizes that will fit into the TV so make sure you find one that fits) If you have any more questions please Email me at: Todd.Gimbel@gmail.com

If you want to see recording you need a DVR, there is no storage on the camera. If you want to just watch live video you can hook it up to any TV source with a analog input, you'll need a BNC to Video connector.
