Installed.. No joy.



Cortex can see SplitCam but Splitcam can not see my cards...



Splitcam says it needs to have the WDM drivers installed... I have a
feeling
if I had those installed then Cortex would see Geovision..



I'll be back..

David , Brian,

There's a bit of freeware called Splitcam
(http://www.splitcam
<http://www.splitcamera.com/>
era.com/) which will take
a video feed and make it
available to a number of windows programs. I used to use it with a DV
camcorder so I could have that as a webcam. It worked fine for that
and may be a solution here but as I don't have any cctv equipment I
can't check myself...

No affiliation etc, just a satified user etc.

HTH,

Tim.
