8 channel BT878a capture card also works great with Zoneminder for Linux, and is fully supported in Linux. The card is
supplied with settings instructions for the modprobe file to use in Zoneminder on ubuntu - linux too.
4 Chip version BT878a card
providing 120 FPS across card
4 Channel 120 FPS Windows and Linux compatable BT878a DVR card

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 Zoneminder too.

This card also has a single video output for a local monitor which can be controlled from within the supplied software.

This version is ideal for those who want high performance across 4 channels but dont want to go to the 8 channel card
below. However the difference in price between this card and the 8 channel version means you should think hard as to
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. This card is supplied with Kodicom software for Windows and also includes settings
instructions for the modprobe file to use in Zoneminder on ubuntu - linux.
Dimensions - 18cm x 10cm
4 input 25 FPS DVR card for Windows and Linux
4 input 120 FPS DVR card for Windows and Linux
8 input 240 FPS DVR card for Windows and Linux
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 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.

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.

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. 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.
