Any pointers to cheap but good capture cards?

I dont believe ZM needs X. I have had it runing on an old X-less P100
before. I use a a collection of old( and random) BT848 based cards in a
P233
at the moment.

I dont actually have the motion detection running - due to my cr*p camera
not handling light changes very well - but I do use  ZM to serve the
captured image - as either a still jpeg or multipart-jpeg streamed view.

On the list of things to do is get a second camera installed, have another
go @ Motion detection and upgrade ZM to the latest version....

ahh, thanks Patrick, I'll look into that:
I guess I don't need the "smarts" that zoneminder adds just yet.
