Got this cheap Anykeeper with 4-878A chips.
Anyone know the modprobe.conf settings for this?
I tried "options bttv card=77,77,77,77" and many other options, but just can't get images.
If anyone has this card running with ZM, please provide modprobe.conf settings and ZM console settings for monitor.

It works.....
Hi,
I've had an anykeeper card and software running for a few years, and have tried moving over to Zoneminder a few times without success.
Until today I've finally managed to get it working so thought I'd register and post incase it can help someone else.
I'm running Ubuntu 9 with all updates and manually installed zoneminder 1.24.2 from source.
I have the following line in /etc/modprobe.d/bttv.conf
options bttv card=131,131,131,131,131,131,131,131
I have 8x131 as I have 2 cards which I think is a WDT 2116. which gives me 16 inputs.
In order to setup my monitors I have the first one on the device /dev/video0 with the channel as 0. The 2nd monitor I've setup as /dev/video1 with the channel as 1.
I did set both on the device /dev/video0 (channels 0 & 1 respectively) but this slowed but the fps and I only use 7 inputs so seemed better to have each set on it's own device.
As for the other settings I have V4L2, PAL & BGR24 (NOT RGB). the width and height seemed to go up quite high but I set to 352 x 288. The machine handles it better and going larger didn't seem to improve quality.
The only other thing in the main options under config I un ticked STRICT_VIDEO_CONFIG.
Hope this helps someone, I'd be happy to give more info if needed. I know it's very early days but I'm so chuffed that this card finally works for me.
