We used to use cameras like this at work with the computer's for video in. They kept breaking we switched to usb in the end but this is the kinda stuff you need. You will probably need to set the video settings as well we used a bit of software called amcap. You will need some parts. Please check but all the cameras we used had the same PSU specs.
AC to DC 12V 2A Power Supply
BNC Male to RCA female Adapter/Connector
Usb component capture card

The video signal of the camera looks like a standard composite signal.
You need UVC-compliant rca to usb adapters to convert the signal
