Need -a- Clue

Need speedy IP camera surveillance solution for safety.
Need speedy IP camera solution. I have a close friend that needs a security camera setup as soon as possible. The family is in a remote area and they are experiencing an issue with trespassers, weirdos or parties unknown and fear for safety. I am thinking that I saw some sort of software that would enable a person to simply plug in an IP camera into the router and use the software to monitor and record 24/7. Law enforcement has been notified of this problem but cannot do much until they can identify the vehicle that is causing the difficulty. It is very worrisome to them since they have two very young children. As an immediate albeit temporary solution I have two IP cameras that I was going to let them use. If an expert could view the specs on the camera and does know of a software program that would suffice that would be most appreciated. I do own Blue Iris software that I never used. I do not know if Blue Iris is capable of doing this job or not. The cameras that I have available are:
1. IR NETWORK CAMERA DS-2CD2032-1 4MM 12/2014 V5.2.0_140721 Bullet camera (Actual manufacturer unknown)
2. HOSAFE BRAND 1MB1W 720P ONVIF H.,264 Bullet camera.
What they are looking for is an immediate solution using one of these two cameras if possible.
Note: I am posting another semi-related question within a hour.

Joe, Let me preface my call for help with this: I know very little about how the cameras are installed and actually interface with the computer. I can interrogate and hook up things, but my expertise ends there. I do not know if this situation is beyond the scope of what I can hope for on EE or not.
If you wish to assist further please let me know if you want me to post this as an additional question, since this has been closed.
I did install Blue Iris full version again. It does recognize the cameras, both of them. However it is not pulling any video from the cameras evidently. I copied a few screens. They might help.
