noise on footage

[HectorG]

I am getting red blue and green noise on my video on zoneminder and xawtv. I dont think its a zm issue, in fact I think it has something to do with the capture card and its bttv settings in modprobe. Below you will find the bttv.conf I am not sure if I should modify anything

#The 8 inputs are from /dev/video0 channel 0 to /dev/video7 channel 0.
#Its recommended to install heatsinks on the BT878 chips of this card because the chips generate a lot of heat. Without heatsinks and front case fan cooling the heatsinks, this card might not last long.

What's the picture like at daytime?

It's not unknown for cameras to pixellate like this in times of darkness. I don't know whether it's camera or card, since I only use ip cameras, but certainly have a few of those which do exactly this.

Daytime image is good but still has some pixelation if you zoom in. since its color its a little harder to perceive. At night it looks like this image above. you can barely tell whats in the image. I dont think its the camera. It seems like an issue with the card. I have used the camera elsewhere without any issues.
