Hi Guys

I have a not so old redundant PC that I would like to use for CCTV purposes. I have looked at Various Linux boxes (CCTV packages) but where is the fun in buying one of those.

What would I need to do this? ie CCTV/Video Cards, Software...camera hardware is not an issue. Is this something that can be done reliably in Windoze or is Linux the best way to go?

Thanks
