So are those the Ituner Spectra 8 and the Linux Media Labs LMLBT44? I
looked
at those but they were too expensive as I want to put in 9 cameras, which
would need three cards. The only other one I've found tracing down the
cardlist in the video4linux documentation is this one

http://www.grandtec.com/xguard.htm

which costs US$299 for the 9 port version. It looks like support for this
was
added to the Linux kernel in October so I can patch it in if need be, but
the
frame rate looks pretty poor (1.5 to 2 fps). The other problem is that
there
aren't any european stockists and the USA online retailers don't look
inclined to ship internationally. So, any other suggestions for cards?


Thanks
