Hi, I am new to CCTV. I am a computer service guy who has been asked to fix the PC from a CCTV system. Looks like the card that connects to the cameras is faulty. Stops system booting. I eventually found SKY 400HC hidden under the date label but cannot find a supplier (only minimum 10 pcs from China). Drivers seem to be Kodicom KCM8016D/ 4400R/ 5500/ 8800. PC owner has 8 cameras connected. Am I correct in thinking this is 4400 clone card? Any advice would be welcome.

I agree entirely

Yes I did find these sites but they are all exporters, min order 100 pieces. I contacted the manufacturer but got no reply. They do not seem to make the 400 any more. I ordered a replacement card from ebay which IS a clone, KMC4400. It works, the drivers are slightly different but the software is OK with the card. My worry was that if I replaced the card with something different, I would have problems with the software. The software, like the card is a mystery as far as information and documentation is concerned.

The owner says the system worked fine for 2 years and only in last few months gave trouble. PC kept locking up. Now it will not boot with PCI camera card installed. Without the card it boots but gives errors because software cannot find card.
