First things first :)
What on your pc are you planning on connecting this CCTV camera to ?
As standard, a PC has no way of accepting video from a camera, so you need a capable graphics card with video input, a TV card with video input, or some other method of getting the video into your pc.
Does your pc have any form of video input?
 
I have a graphics card with a coax input i think its for tv reception (analogue) the card is nvidia and quite old,hope this helps.
Cheers.
 
if your card has a composite input (yellow phono socket) or svhs socket then you will just need the correct adaptor to get it to a bnc format. failing that you will need one of these
 
Many thanks my friend you have saved me loads of time searching the net and filtering through the crappy sites.
Cheers
 
the link i posted is not the cheapest i just used it as an example. ebay have much cheaper ones available. i dont own one myself but have seen them work and know the signal is composite.
 
Just hsd a better look at graohics card and the video in is a purple colour connection and it doesbt look like the video out which is s-video,it does have something like5/6 pins hope this helps you to identify.
Cheers
 
probably a svhs out mate. what is the graphics card?? look in device manager for its name or is it a tuner input card??
 
sorry for takin so long to answer matey but the missus is off work with me today an she keeps buggin me with jobs to do its difinately a video in and the card is a Radeon 9800se agp all in wonder series 128mb.

their website only talks of a tuner. i dont know mate what you describe sounds like svhs does it look like this?? im still not sure it is an output though mate.
 
like i say with out a definate of wether it is an input i dont know. there will be an adaptor that will take that socket to an rca (phono) then you would need a rca to bnc. but is it worth the hassle till you know for sure???
