    This is a long shot! I have a colour CCTV camera covering the drive. It's connected to the tv. I can select it on tv and see what's going on outside.

    My question is this. Is there like a hard drive that I could disconnect the input cable to tv that's feeding camera and connect it to this " hard drive " and connect hard drive back to tv input so that then ....I can do as I do now and monitor outside ..but record the footage as well?!

    Just looking to see if there was a handy way to record the picture ( of drive) as well as just view it as I do now.

    Hope ye can follow me! I have power (220v) at rear of tv area to power this " hard drive" if such a thing exists

    Thks

    If it is an analog camera then you could use a DVR to record the images and have the TV for viewing a live feed.
    Id recommend a hybrid system as these will allow for HD cameras as well if you decided to upgrade the camera for a better picture down the line.
    LTS/HIKVisison would be what I would recommend.
    Can be got straight from the suppliers here.
