Phil, your friend will have to source one through a company that fits security systems to buildings. They aren't a 'Retail' item.
Hardware to see it on a PC/Laptop is just a Video Grabber cable.
Hardware to see it on a TV is just a BNC to AV video cable.
Software: well, none really.
You can use some programs to fiddle with Brightness/Contrast/Saturation etc if you want to. The Gstar program works, or you can download 'ManyCams'.
I even got the Philips Toucam 'Vlounge' to work with it.
That's all you need. Then you spend the next few months going
trying to get the settings in the camera right
Just like any other new imaging toy.
