Cheap ebay DVR card works!
Posted: Thu Jun 28, 2007 9:59 pm
I bought this DVR card cheap on ebay (see auction no. 300117149813 - there are many similar)
- about £12.50 inc p&p with 4 phono inputs.
It worked straightaway with xawtv in NTSC mode (recognised as 'generic', but as I was installing zoneminder for the first time it took me a while to get the whole thing working...
But it does work fine!
The card is has a conexant chip but has no manufacturer or other markings I can find. With my b&w camera it captures at 40-50 fps. The mpeg videos of the events look ok to me!
If you're looking for a cheap DVR card to start off with, give it a go.
