Hi,

I have a neighbour who is no longer physically able to get to a window 
or to her garden and is much missing being able to do so.

I have in mind a project which involves two video cameras looking at her 
bird bath..(feathered kind, before you get too excited). The composite 
video signals from those end up in the adjacent house, where she can see 
them on her TV/computer screen.

I want to input those two signals into a computer, display them in 
individual windows (ideally both on her TV - or at least easily choose 
between sources to display on the TV), giving her a remote control(s) so 
that either/both sources can be recorded with reasonable quality but 
lots of compression, with live pause, rewind and fast forward..

So, I think what I need is two dissimilar (so that the two remotes will 
work independently) TV cards with video input, that will co-exist in a 
Windows XP machine. With hardware compression on the cards.

Any thoughts on the best way to achieve this? The cameras are wireless - 
USB web cams wouldn't be an option (too far) but a unit, if they exist, 
that has two or more video inputs and sits on a LAN may be..

Sorry if this is the wrong group, if it is, please point me in the 
direction of a more appropriate one.
