BTspy/Conextant driver tweak help

[DKtucson 0]

Hi Folks,

I've purchased a generic 4chip-4 channel card from geeks.com a while back. It appears to be a physical clone of a Kodicom 4400 card and it came bundled with DVRnet880 software.

Before we go off on pirated cards etc let it be said that I do not want to use the software that came with the card. I have a full blown bought license for h264webcam software that can make use of generic cards with drivers properly configured. Here is where the other shoe drops....

I had the DVRnet software up and running and selected each screen one at a time while runing BTspy and following the prompts.

I saved the report file and imported it while installing the drivers.

I feel I am somewhat close. The card is seen in device manager with no bangs (!). 4 audio and 4 wdm video devices.

When I go through the setup in the cam software I get 4 blue standby screens. Trying to probe different settings in amcap will at times trigger a reboot.

Can anyone look at this report and see if they see anything blatently off?

No replies ...I've since configured the card in Zoneminder and it seems to be working fine. The zoneminder wiki had a modules.conf file edit for the Kodicom card that worked perfectly for the clone card of mine.

While I'm a big Linux fan, the ZM interface is not as straightforward as H264Webcam and I would NEVER consider it for the average end user customer.

Email and FTP setup are a hassle....I would consider it for a gunshop/liquor store that needed the reliable uptime/stability and didn't care about remote notification--but that really is a "must have" for after hours use or "away from home" residential useage
