RE: CCTV - WinTV Capture Cards

This
is the tricky bit - I didn't want to get into having PIRs outside as well
as
cameras, I have found the PIR fitted to one of my cameras not to be much
good.
>A) My cameras are none PIR ones but I

I
can
look this info up for you tonight, and let you know, I have one camera with
PIR.
- as I recall I have one pin wired as a trigger.

I have
been
thinking about a similar thing. The options available are
as
follows:
1) Have multiple video cards but you will need the
multi
camera capture
software (Gotcha Multicam $400 compared to $70 for the
single camera
version)
2) Use relays to supply power to only the
camera
you want to display. This
is the way that Comfort suggest
http://www.comfort.org.uk/products/rly01.html
The
way I was planning on doing it was using a relay to switch the
cameras
on
and off. That way you only need a single copy of the capture
software.
When the camera changes it will pick up the new picture as
movement. The
only issue is that any masked off area will need to
be
consistent across
all the cameras.
My alternative is that I have
a
control module for plugging in up to 4 of
my homebase cameras.
This
opens up two more possibilities
A) My cameras are none PIR ones but
I
could trigger the pin on the plug
into the control unit to switch the
cameras. Anyone know how the PIR ones
are wired up to the 6 pin
plugs?
B) Use the manual camera select button on the control unit.
I
haven't
taken it apart yet to see if it is possible to operate the
switch
via a
relay or
similar.

Hi all
Another blonde question for you all today
:-)
I have 2 CCTV Cameras, and would like to capture the output
from
these on my PC, I know there is lots of software that will allow
me
to monitor the images, and capture the changes on the PC.
The
bit
I am trying to get my head around, is if I have 2 cameras
both providing
composite video feeds do I need to have need a
seperate capture card for
each camera? - and will windows
support
these?
Thanks
Dan
