I need to get inputs from multiple CCTV cameras and take it to the PC. Once it is in PC, I need to run a OpenCV program on the video input provided by each individual camera and perform some image recognition work. Everything should happen on real time. I have never worked with CCTV before, so I am not sure how I can get the input from "multiple cameras" to the PC, and I am not sure how I can use OpenCV too identify the different cameras. Unfortunately our media lab also do not provide much details on this..
So my question, is it possible for a PC to take input from multiple CCTV cameras (maybe 5 or 10 or 16 or whatever), and can OpenCV read these cameras so I can see the images and do the processing?
