i saw a ip camera? to wirelss router with av out. can that go to a tv card & record?

Ip cameras at that end of the market are questionable at best. They record straight to your pc so need for any fancy bits of kit. A decent stand alone dvr with a decent camera is the best way to go IMHO. Don't expect number plates or faces and don't expect that you're going to see much of anything at night.
