Video Capture Cards

[Andrew Edwards (Olympic Shaver Centre)]

Hi, 

I am looking for experiences on using freebsd with any form of two or more input video capture device. I have relative success with a bt848 based tv card, but apart from being a single input (I suppose it could be hacked to take over the input used for the tuner to give two inputs) they are becoming a little difficult to purchase new.

After much searching I don't seem to be getting anywhere! Is anyone aware of any freebsd alternatives or is the move to something like a V4L supported card under linux the next best thing?

I ideally want to hook up 2 or 3 ccd cameras for remote security monitoring using freebsd.

Thanks, Andrew.
