I can run all the cables from the camera to the computer but I do not know what to connect them to on my computer or what software is best to use. Please help!
Answer:Hi Sylvia,
That is not a problem. You need to purchase a PC DVR Card that you can install into your pc. It effectively makes your PC a security DVR. You will be able to view and record your security cameras once you have connected them to the card.
Here is a link for a search to see some of the options available.
