The Connexant BT878a chip has been around for a long time and is therefore supported by many webcam and CCTV programs and other software. This includes that well
known and very good program Zoneminder which operates on Linux OS, and the card is fully supported in Linux.
Software supplied with our BT878a chip DVR cards includes an excellent Kodicom application for use on windows 2000 or XP SP1 only which provides a fully featured
Digital Recording and viewing system and includes remote access too. We supply Windows WDM drivers with the cards so they can be used with all good Windows
applications that can use these standard format drivers on Windows XP and Vista 32 bit operating systems.
Our BT878a cards are available in the three most common and popular configurations.
1) Single chip 4 channel card with a total of 25 FPS across the card (PAL) giving 25 FPS when one channel used and 6 FPS per channel when all 4 channels are used.
2) 4 x chip 4 channel card with a chip per channel with a total of 120 FPS across the card giving 25 FPS per channel (PAL) when all 4 channels are used. (not WDM)
3) 8 x chip 8 channel card with a chip per channel with a total of 240 FPS across the card giving 25 FPS per channel (PAL) when all 8 channels are used.
The four channel DVR cards have BNC or RCA connectors for camera inputs, when supplied with RCA connectors they are also supplied with BNC to RCA converters so
standard BNC camera cables can be plugged in. The Eight channel cards are supplied with a DIN to BNC plug and fly lead so all 8 cameras can be aesily plugged in to the
fly leads without trying to fit 8 coax cables directly to the back of the PC.
Windows software supplied with the cards works on Windows 2000 or Windows XP SP1. The WDM drivers supplied (single chip and 8 chip cards only) will operate on Vista
so you can use these cards with other Vista applications if you wish. The cards are supported directly by Linux. See our other cards for Vista, Linux, XP and other
operating systems too.

The Camsecure range of BT878a PCI Video Capture Cards / DVR Cards provide a flexible means for making your own
security video surveillance system. The Connexant BT878a chip is fully supported in Linux and these cards work well with
that great FREE Linux application Zoneminder.
For the 4 channel single chip and 8 channel 8 chip models only, we also provide Windows WDM drivers for XP and Vista
32 bit operating systems so they can be used with most good 3rd party software such as Active Webcam, Eycatcher and
Argus. We also include the original DVR software for these cards for older operating systems (Win2000 - XP with SP1) in
case you want to convert an older PC into a DVR using the original software.
Note all 3 cards are Linux compatable but only the 4channel 25 FPS and 8 channel 240 FPS will work with WDM drivers.

Connexant 878a - 1 x Chip
Product description:
4 Input capture card based on the 878a chip. Provides up to 25 frames
per second divided across the used inputs e.g. you can have 25 frames

camera's can be controlled via the PC serial port using the Pelco
protocol.
The card is supplied with Windows WDM drivers for 3rd party

and instructions are supplied for the '/etc/modprobe.d/bttv.conf' file
when using the card with LINUX and Zoneminder.
The card works great with Active Webcam for Windows and up to 4 x
cards can be used simultaneously to provide you with a cost effective
16 camera system. The card is also supplied with a copy of the
original software shipped with them which can be used on older
operating systems e.g. win2000 or XP SP1 only in case you want to
use an old machine to make a cost effective DVR.
Dimensions - 12cm x 10cm
Connexant 878a - 4 x Chip
4 Channel 120 FPS Windows and Linux compatable BT878a DVR
card (this model is NOT compatable with Windows WDM)
Our 4 chip BT878a 4 input capture card utilises 1 x BT878a chip for
each input. This provides a card frame rate of 120FPS giving up to 30
FPS per camera input when all inputs are used.
Because this 4 way DVR card uses the Connexant BT878a chip, it is
supported in LINUX and works great with the well known CCTV
software, Zoneminder. Instructions are included for the
'/etc/modprobe.d/bttv.conf' file settings in Zoneminder
This card also has a single video output for a local monitor which can
be controlled from within the supplied original software only. The
supplied original Kodicom software is designed for older operating
systems e.g. win2000 and XP SP1 only.
This is a great card for Linux but think whether you may need more
cameras in the future in which case an eight channel card is more cost
effective than two of the 4 x chip 4 channel models. Linux tested on
ubuntu 8.04.
