capture cards and digital stills

[zmxtech 0]

hi folks,

 

For years I have been using many types of PC based capture cards the software is always buggy. my latest 8ch card is a shocker. no other software will work with it. and it locks up or freezes [kvc-v8008A]

might try a faster machine 3ghz + not 1.7ghz -early days still.

 

At the moment for a single cam I use an avermedia card and Xp using supervisioncam as the motion sensing software for digital stills 320x288 or so [thats run for years no probs] caught heaps of crooks at 3am !

 

The only problem is it wont go any higher in res -it will do it yes but the picture interlaces /breaks up -I have tried all the software on the market

looks like its a hardware problem. [bt848] it will record DVD size movie ok

 

I also looked many DVR cards -like the geovision DVR cards but they dont do digital stills [yet] only low res movies -newer ones do DVD size I think

 

dont want movies -or any type of compression . digital stills are great

at .1 seconds -you can pick out vital detail

 

there seems to be nothing out there maybe I should design a megpixel cam and my own software ?

 

just spent the day testing the latest batch of webcam/video motion

software and suprise-suprise all the same cant do bigger than CIF size

and again only some do snapshots @CIF

 

for xmas>

8ch DVR card that will motion detect and ONLY do snapshots 640x480+

 

Am I asking too much ?
