Yes it can be done, either using a normal capture card, or with a special 4 input cctv card, cant recall who makes it at the mo.

You could also go for a DVR, which is basicallya hard disk recorder, that will get you about 3 months of video on a 120gig, more if you enable motion sensing.

The stand alone units are a couple of hundred pounds (last time i sold one at least).

They do have a lot of features like motion detection and stuff.
