connecting computers to DVR instead of cctv cameras to view computer screens


 
hi all
I have 4 computers: 3 in my shop and one at my home. i want to view the desktop of my 3 computers on 1 computer at home. for this purpose I have decided to use DVR and connect 3 computers to DVR and my home computer to DVR via Ethernet and view the screen my three computer located at my shops to my home computer.

as i know we can connect CCTV cameras to DVR and view display of those cameras remotely, but is it possible to use computers instead of cameras to view the display of my computers?
If it is possible what devices do I need for above purpose

regards

If your computers are connected to Internet, you can use remote access software for viewing their screens. No hardware needed.

You can use VLC to stream client desktops and then access these streams through your DVR software.

Most discrete graphic cards (not integrated graphic card on motherboard) provide S-Video output. if your PC's have S-Video out then you can simply use S-Video cable to hookup your PC's with DVR.
