Connecting a wireless nanny cam to iMac - no RCA connection

I have just migrated from the PC to Mac world. I have a wireless nanny cam that I use to record to my PC (like a DVR) by installing in my PC a DVR/PCI card that has RCA input jacks. A receiver would connect into the RCA jacks and thus receive the wireless camera signal. I now use an iMac

Obviously I can't install a PCI card on my iMac and it doesn't have RCA inputs either, so how would I receive a signal on my iMac from a wireless camera? It is not a camera that has its own IP address. I thought that since the latest iMacs are able to pick up wireless router signals for internet connectivity, that it could also be configured for a wireless camera that transmits a signal. Do I have any hope? FYI, the software used to manage the camera recordings is called Pico 2000.

You can use El Gato's EyeTV 250.
It has RCA input so you can hook up your Nanny Cam receiver and record to your HD.
Plus,you can connect your cable TV and watch and record shows on the iMac.
