PCI VIDEO CAPTURE CARDS for Fedora

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,
 
I am wondering if members here would advise on a great
video capture card one can use for survellance and other
uses (such as capturing a telescope data for astronomy) that
supports many cameras in real-time (all/most channels active)
and also supports remote/local viewing with protocols for
supporting full tilt/motion/zoom.  As for the camera itself,
I'd like to have at least one that not only supports full tilt/motion/zoom
but can also might support 0 lux, color, but perhaps also support
IR/uV as cheaply as possible?  Yeah, I know it might be
too expensive for my budget but hey, I'd like to know what
my options are! ;)
 
I just happened to find something like:
 
Lorex 16 Port PCI
Card Digital Video Recorder - 120 FPS 
Model No: QLR1660

Features:

  • 16 channel (camera) triplex PC card solution (view, record, playback simultaneously)
  • Local and Remote internet Monitoring Capability
  • Digital Recording of live video to PC’s hard drive
  • View up to 16 locations simultaneously
  • Compatible with Windows operating system
  • 1 / 8 / 16 / Full Screen / Sequencing
  • Individual selection of security alarm features
  • Digital freeze and zoom-in
  • Easy search and playback of digitally recorded video
  • Password security protection
  • External alarm option

Minimum System Requirements:

  • Supports 16 cameras and 4 assignable audio channels
  • Supports pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras with Pilco D or equivalent protocol
  • Supplied software enables local network and remote internet access
  • 120fps recording speed
  • PC requires 62MB or larger video card, 20GB available HD space and a 1.3GHz CPU
  • Includes Lorex™ application software CD
  •  
    Notice above Pilco D or equivalent protocol...
    Is this a propreitary protocol or supported under Fedora???
     
    It is also not clear how to 'breakout' the 16-channel inputs
    to support other interfaces supporting other camera devices
    such as camcorders, webcams, VCR, MXC, S-? and so on.
     
    and this card is priced near $300.00 at bargain rates, or
    so it seems...
     
    Also, this card may be obsolete (at least it is no longer in
    the Lorex website) and there is very little information as
    to programming the card for local use (such as motion
    detection, for example) - but this is just one that I found
    at the moment.
     
    Perhaps there are better cards out there?
     
    Does anyone have any advice as to the card/camera that
    would be great for use under Linux/Fedora?
     
    Thanks!
    Dan
