i bought it from ebay, but the guy dont know anything about it, he just said that he remember the software as dv6000 or dvr6000 ?? i installed it in my computer and with a program that search for drivers, it found a driver for some Hauppage 878/9 WDM, but that didnt work, it installed tho, and i searched that model in google and the card its not the same.

 

thanks.

Looks like a rather generic 4 channel, 120FPS capture card. What is are the numbers on the Conexant chips? Each one of those chips handles one input, doing 30FPS each. I bet it will be something like 878A.

 

Don't think it will be easy to find drivers for use in Windows. It will be plug & play in Linux though. (Yay for V4L & V4L2!).

 

Looks like its got an audio input too? The 2-pin connection at the top right is for a watchdog connection. Black header at the right is used in conjunction with another 'break-out' sort of card for alarm I/O.

yes, it says Fusion 878A, it came with another little card with 4 audio inputs. Sooo if i install linux, it could be plug and play? ima download a linux distro right now.

 

thanks

Yup, I'm almost 100% positive it will work. Plug it in, boot up, and run lspci. Look at the results for something like "Video Capture", "878A", or "Conexant" (or similar). This proves that it is present and recognized.

 

Also, run lsmod. Look for devices that use things starting with v4l or v4l2. Should have at least 1 device using one of those, (the card).

 

In terms of testing, you could install xawtv or similar software to view the different inputs.

Awesome, thank you. I downloaded gentoo Linux, do you recommend any other for CCTV?

Well, I suppose Ubuntu, but most all should work. I think V4L & V4L2 is standard on most all distros.

i managed to see from the 1st channel, but only that, other channels comes as a bluescreen

Dude did you come right with the card? you dont have a full view of it but studying make me think its a Alnet 4ch 30fps card...they normaly need a dongle to make them work. Go check it out at www.alnet.com or do a google search under Alnet.

The 4 swithes is your video terminators and the yellow plug is for a video output to a monitor

The card says 4ch 120FPS? (edit: oh, 30FPS per camera duh!) It looks like a generic card to me... which could be what Allnet are.
