I agree with Iridflare... And that's great that you are using the camcorder's DV port. We are also assuming that you are using a firewire cable (not USB) to connect the camcorder's DV port (not USB) to the computer's firewire port (not USB). DV-to-USB cable/adapter/converter things do not work...

A wireless surveillance or wireless security camera should work - you will need to figure out a power supply for the camera. The video (and sometimes audio) signal is transmitted to a base station. The base station also needs power and connection to the TV. Fry's Electronics and BH Photo - and...
