Since you have 3 cameras it makes things a bit more of a challenge.

Reading the specs on the Hauppauge 500 series card - which has two
tuners - it also indicates it has headers for two A/V inputs. You
can put several of these cards into a PC for direct recording to a
hard drive.

So two cards should be able to give you 4 A/V inputs. WIth
a decent sized hard drives you'd be able to record the video
continually from all three cameras.

However I do not know if the system will support replay from the
channel you are recording while you are recording to give you the
instant replay effect.

You might want to check into that. It looks like it could be the
cheapest way to get what you want/need.
