PictureTel Camera's and 4 port card



Hello Everyone and thanks for the help.

I've been looking at DVR cards for a home security system viewable over the
web. I was wondering if anyone had some answers to some questions I have.
First I'll tell you my plan. I want to use some Picturetel  PTZ-1 and 2
PZT-2N (these are teleconferencing cameras)  run to a pc with an 4 port DVR
card and a 4 port pci serial card (for PTZ control RS232) using BDLCAM to
control the camera's and ? software for video steaming. I believe this will
work but I will need 4 instances of BDLCAM running at the same time to view
all for camera's.( Update: I have got BDLCam working for PTZ control but I
am trying to use Webcamxp for streaming the video but can't get it to see my
DVR card. The Dvr card has a Techwell TW6000 chip and I think the problem is
that it doesn't use WDM drivers? Any thoughts?) What I would like to do is
just use the software that comes with the DVR card (some form of Pico2000 I
think) for displaying all 4 camera's, streaming and PTZ control. The only
problem here is I'm not sure if there is a DVR card software that will do
the PictureTel PTZ RS232 control. I have gotten the code some someone at
PictureTel but not sure of any DVR software that will let me edit the PTZ
data. Has anyone had success with PictureTel PTZ camera's and a DVR card?
Anyway just thought I would see if anyone would have a better plan. Thank's
for your help, Paul
