Here's the trick, you can hook it up to a computer MONITOR, but hooking up to a computer would require a number of things like a camera to USB cable, and software that would interpret that data signal. Otherwise, even if you get the USB cable, it's just random video data. You'd need a video capture card, which is doable, but the format your camera uses may not be recognized.
