nabberuk 0 Posted June 3, 2012 Hi, I'm looking into developing my own PC based CCTV system, I have 4 analog camera's (1 with PTZ). I'm trying to source a capture card, I'm a little unsure on what features to look for. Currently looking at a cheapy one > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/H-264-CCTV-4-8-16Ch-Video-8Ch-Audio-200-240fps-CCTV-Camera-DVR-PCI-Capture-Card-/320879812725#ht_5645wt_900 Am i correct in thinking i need to look at the framerates? i.e the above one is 200fps (PAL) i would get a max framerate 25fps based on 8 camera's? I should also point out that this is just a project at home (not going to sell it or anything) but i'd still like it to to produce a fairly decent picture. thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted June 3, 2012 I should also point out that this is just a project at home (not going to sell it or anything) but i'd still like it to to produce a fairly decent picture save your money. that card is crap junk and not from your country. that link is CIF only. look for D1 and dont use ebay. we have a problem in the UK at the moment with people buying poor systems and cards from ebay from china. it does not work or poor quality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
