4 x Input Card From
P
YSoft
I hope this site is usefull to you and i am sure you will have great fun and lots of enjoyment in the wonderfull world of WEBCAMS.
For proffessional and serious users you just
cant beat a dedicated capture card. These PCI
devices plug into your PC and capture high
quality video directly into the webcam software.
They come with standard BNC connectors to
allow you to connect standard surveillance
cameras etc. using standard leads and
connections. You can get these cards up to
16 way and you can use more than one card
per PC. You can still use USB device's too
when using Active Webcam software. I have
tested these with all the reviewed software on
this site and it all works beautifully. You can get these cards from the makers of active webcam
at a very good price. Check out our suppliers section for more suppliers.

8 x Input Card From
PYSoft
For more demanding use there is the 8 channel version capture card which provides 8 inputs
at up to 25 FPS per camera.........WOW.....Almost realtime video from 8 separate cameras.
I tested this card good and hard with
Active Webcam and it was superb. i
had my PC recording high quality
video from all my cameras and
streaming it at the same time and it
really worked well. The only
awkward bit was that there is no
fixed back plate so i had to leave a
spare card slot cover off to poke the
camera leads through......but apart
from that installation was smooth
and the software loaded up first time
with no driver problems at all.
I also gave it a bash with CoffeeCup Webcam using the camera cycler to FTP all the camera
inputs to the web. Worked great. The only problem with the card was.....I HAD TO GIVE IT
BACK! For proffessional use......get it and use it with Active Webcam....You Will Love It!

16 x Input Card From
PYSoft
Well here is the other two cards Big Brother....16 cameras on one card.
You get a lot of performance with
this card and its definetly for the
serious user. Unfortunately i have
not had the opportunity to test
this card yet but i am hoping to
in the near future so watch this
space. As its made by the
producers of Active Webcam and
the other two cards i have every
reason to expect it to perform
well. Take a look at the
specification on the left.
You can get this card from the makers of active webcam but check out our suppliers
section for more suppliers
who i have personally dealt with for great products like these
WOW 16 channels at 30 FPS per
channel at 768 x 576 resolution
(PAL) and with 25 FPS per
channel 640 x 480 resolution
(NTSC)
Not Bad
