If you need to record video for a long period of time, it is recommended that you buy a professional device, a cheap hard disk recorder, and a hard drive.

If you use a capture card, it's even cheaper. You just need to buy a capture card and a surveillance probe, and you'll be able to do it for about 400 bucks
