How do I make my old computer into a home security system with cameras?
I have this old computer lying around and I want to install some cameras into my home. What do I need to make this work?
For example, what software and other necessary stuff do I need for my computer?
Also, I don’t want to spend a lot of money on this, so cheap tips please.
Thanks
