How to organize video surveillance on the following equipment?

Question

CCTV

How to organize video surveillance on the following equipment. There is only what is written here, the solution is preferably free. The main requirement is the presence of a local archive with normal viewing (through the player on the computer, the archive folder will be shared over the local network). The presence of a web muzzle in the local network is desirable, but I can write it myself
So, there is:
- WiFi router
Cameras:
- TrendNET TV-IP121W - 1 pc
- TrendNET TV-IP521W - 1 pc
- TrendNET TV-IP501W - 4 pcs
Laptop with the following hardware:
i5 -2450 / 4gb ram / 500 gb hdd (laptop - Lenovo U400)
Actually there is a choice in software. It was not possible to set up XP 5 webcams, it began to issue errors and swear at libraries, Ivideon allows you to connect only 2 cameras (temporarily through it, but it doesn’t work because you need a special program and only 2 cameras to view).
No motion detectors are needed. Just continuous recording.

Answer 1

At one time, I had such a simple batch file that wrote video from an ip-camera to D:\Video

@echo off
rem set vdir=d:\Video\
TITLE "video record starting"
set now=%TIME:~0,-3%
set now=%now::=%
set now=%now: =0%
set now=%DATE:~-4%%DATE:~3,2%%DATE:~0,2%_%now%

start "" /MIN "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" rtsp://192.168.1.203 --sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:file{dst=D:\\video\\%now%.avi} --quiet vlc://quit
exit
rem --quiet
rem program.exe > nul
rem call

Maybe crooked of course, and requires VLC, but worked for about 2 years.
