i have been looking at some capture cards and there are quite a lot on ebay for sub £10. i dont need much FPS but i do need it to be able to work on linux with zoneminder. can anybody advise me on a card and if they know weather or not it works. i would rather not spend too much and i live in the UK.
Thank you, Matthew.
reccomended capture card? ebay?
would this one work and has anybody tried it?

Don't know about that one, but I've just taken delivery of a generic card sold as SK2000F. Cost around £13 (including delivery) and is working fine with Fedora 6 and ZoneMinder.
It reports as - Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11) with lspci.
Can't tell you how well it would work with more than one camera 'cos I only have one at present.
I'm expecting another even cheaper one in the next few days - I'll report back when I get it.
Cheers,
Colin
