Recomended capture card available in the UK

Post by jethro10 »

Hi,
After having a torrid time getting this far, I dont want to take any risks.

Can anyone advise a capture card for 8 cameras that I can buy in the UK and where I can get it.

An alternative would be a UK friendly foreign web site.

I gether some are hardware encoders and some software ? and hardware has less load on the server? If so, it will have to be hardware.

Thanks
Jeff

hardware encoders AFAIK are a waste of time as the encoding for zm is done by the cpu. Might make your time a little easier.

Well, I ordered from the Bluecherry link on this website from America.

Delivered promptly, price was fine and installation was flawless.

Good enough for me.
