A similar item is available but under a different manufacture and part number:
Do you want to plug a capture card into your own PC / machine?
I ask because, a decade or more ago, when prices were far higher, some people bought those cards and did that. Now that prices are so much lower and performance is overall much higher, the typical approach is to buy appliances (whether it is low cost ones like Hikvision or higher cost ones like Exacq, etc.).

If you or they want an analog DVR, get an analog DVR, just pick the best hardware and software feature sets for your needs.
A capture card would be a weird / antiquated way to accomplish this.
I concur, have not seen one for a long time but wanted to check incase I was missing something.
