Question : got 100+ DV Tapes : what is best pipeline for capture

Hi, i have more than 100 old DV tapes that i found in my cellar. I would like to capture them all, but they are fairly old (20 years actually) so i dont want to destroy them, and secondly i wonder if not some of them could have gotten someway dirty in the last years.

Think that i can just use my old camera ?

Or should i try to get one of these old capture devices ? (and then which would be the best for ages old tapes like these ?)

Do i reall need an cleaning tape ? and if which ones are the best ?

Thanks in advance for any tips, tricks or leads in regarss of how i could best do this
