Hi all, I'm wanting to setup a small CCTV system, probably just a couple of cameras to start with(this is just a home project) and may be add more in the future. I'm looking for outdoor cameras with night vision, I've seen a few on ebay but some have video cable connectivity and was wondering how I would connect it to my Linux setup. Like I say I'm a total noob to this and any advice on cameras and cables ect would much appreciated. I'm basically trying to keep it as cheap as possible.
