Cameras and a tivo

Not sure where to put this so I put it here.  I have a security camera and a tivo system I'm not using.  Is it possible to hook up the camera to record onto the tivo?  Or is it possible to hook it up to the pc and record it that way?

Sure you can, if the Tivo has

Sure you can, if the Tivo has a video input . If not, your going to need an RF modulator, like they use on video games and use an A-B switch to switch between the camera and the antenna or cable.  Now with the computer, your going to need a video capture card and the software to drive the card.  The camera will most likly have whats called a BNC connection on it for the video. You can get an adaptor to convert that to almost anything such as to an RCA type, or an F type fitting. Let us know how you made out.  Good Luck
