Simple UK Card Eequired

Phaeton · Post by **Phaeton** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 6:45 am

I have spent quite a lot of time searching the forum but can't seem to find the answer. I'm after a four port card in the UK or one to buy to get to the UK. eBay seems to be the obvious answer but I asked the question to 6 sellers yesterday if the card had the BT878 chip & got no reply from any of them. Not prepared to buy on the off chance, can anyone recommend a seller.

Cheers

try search on ebay: "dvr +linux"
You didn't say if You want 1 chip or 4 chip card.
also look on wiki on photos. it will help You to find similar card. very often it is possible to see conexant logo on photos on ebay.
good luck

Thanks for the reply, only just starting out in this, normally use Geovision & XP, not sure what you mean by 1 or 4 chip sorry.

this card has 1 chip, so it can do max 30fps per all input

this card had 8chips so it can do 30fps per every input (so 240fps per all input)

cheers

Once again thanks, have just ordered one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0280989247 just to get me started, probably want a better card but this will do I hope to get to grips.

hello there....

i had kodicom 4400 with 4 chips on it and it was working really good but after 2-3 years it broke down....
now i got this one
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Pico2000

coz all i need is 4 cameras

my modprobe.conf looks :

#alias char-major-81 bttv
options i2c_algo_bit bit_test=1
options bttv card=77 tuner=4 radio=0 autoload=0 triton1=0 vsfx=0

but it doesn't work

syslog gives :

Sep 26 08:37:08 eden kernel: VFS: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly.
Sep 26 08:37:08 eden kernel: bttv0: can't request iomem (0x0).
Sep 26 08:37:08 eden kernel: bttv: probe of 0000:01:08.0 failed with error -16

what do i do wrong? theses cards are almost the same....

got slackware 11
