You can. They're called digital video recorders (DVR). I had one around 15 years ago (I don't remember brand or model). A quick search on Amazon had this one as the first result:

- johnklos 4y agoWow! Thank you :D I've been looking, but every time I've searched for anything like "DVR", I get boxes to record surveillance camera feeds. This is expensive, but may very well be worth the money. Thanks!
