Hi
all,
I am wondering if
members here would advise on a great
video capture card
one can use for survellance and other
uses (such as
capturing a telescope data for astronomy) that
supports many
cameras in real-time (all/most channels active)
and also supports
remote/local viewing with protocols for
supporting full
tilt/motion/zoom. As for the camera itself,
I'd like to have at
least one that not only supports full tilt/motion/zoom
but can also might
support 0 lux, color, but perhaps also support
IR/uV as cheaply as
possible? Yeah, I know it might be
too expensive for my
budget but hey, I'd like to know what
my options are!
;)
I just happened to
find something like:

Supports 16 cameras and 4 assignable audio channels Supports pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras with Pilco D or equivalent protocol Supplied software enables local network and remote internet access 120fps recording speed PC requires 62MB or larger video card, 20GB available HD space and a 1.3GHz CPU Includes Lorex™ application software CD
Notice above Pilco D
or equivalent protocol...
Is this a
propreitary protocol or supported under Fedora???
It is also not clear
how to 'breakout' the 16-channel inputs
to support other
interfaces supporting other camera devices
such as camcorders,
webcams, VCR, MXC, S-? and so on.
and this card is
priced near $300.00 at bargain rates, or
so it
seems...
Also, this card may
be obsolete (at least it is no longer in
the Lorex website)
and there is very little information as
to programming the
card for local use (such as motion
detection, for
example) - but this is just one that I found
at the
moment.
Perhaps there are
better cards out there?
Does anyone have any
advice as to the card/camera that
would be great for
use under Linux/Fedora?
Thanks!
Dan
