To Our PCI Video Capture Cards Review |
Review 1 of 3 |
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. |
Dedicated 4 way proffessional capture card ideal for CCTV and surveillance over the internet |

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! |
Dedicated 8 way proffessional capture card for CCTV with an excellent frame rate of up to 25 FPS per camera |

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 |
