 A Video Capture
Board is a specialized circuit board that adds into a Personal
Computer. Specific software ( Windows 98 and/or ME and/or 2000
and/or XP compatible ) is provided with the Video Capture Board
to allow users to interface and functions to be performed. You
supply the computer ( or we'll be happy to ). CCTV cameras are
connected to ports on the Video Capture Board. Images from the
cameras are digitized and processed by the board, computer and
related software, displayed on the computer monitor and recorded
on the computer hard disk. Remote viewing of live and recorded
video is supported by dial-up modem and/or Internet and/or LAN.
A
word of caution: There can be major
incompatibilities between video capture boards, their chipsets
and/or drivers and the chipsets on computer motherboards.
SPECIFICALLY, most video capture cards will only work on certain
INTEL CHIPSET motherboards. Additionally, for best performance,
an INTEL CPU is required. In
other words, not all computers are suitable - even extremely
powerful and new systems.
A Video Capture
Board and Software performs the functions of a:
 |
Video
Multiplexer
(allows multiple CCTV cameras to input simultaneously).
|
|
|
Digital
Time Lapse Recorder
(allows simultaneous
multi-camera recordings on computer hard disk).
|
|
|
Video
Monitor
(allows multi-camera images to be displayed on the computer
monitor ).
|
A Video Capture
Board and Software may also perform the functions of a multi-channel:
|
|
Alarm
Monitor
( Alarm Systems or devices such as motion detectors can
input alarm signals which trigger camera recording and
even send the recordings to remote computers or notify
personnel by telephone/pager ).
|
|
|
Video
Motion Detector
( Recording is triggered by motion in any camera's field
of view ).
|
|
|
Remote
Video Monitor
( Computer users at other locations can connect to the
local Video Capture System by LAN, or dial-up modem and
view real-time or recorded camera images, control cameras
in real-time and even record remotely. Remote access may
also be made via Internet in which case live viewing without
camera control is possible).

No more expensive Time Lapse VCR's, Multiplexers, Splitters
and dumb Video Monitors. No more forgetting to change the VCR
tapes. No more tapes wearing out. No more watching tapes of
empty rooms for hours on end ( with recording only on motion
or alarm ). No more having to rush to the store/office/plant
in the middle of the night to see what is happening if the burglar
alarm goes off ( with remote computer connection ). A Video
Capture Board replaces all
these things!
And Video Capture
Boards with software are relatively inexpensive!!
The H series,
stackable
video capture boards provide superb digital
video surveillance solutions from 4 camera 30fps (frame per second)
up to 16 camera 480fps systems. Available with up to 16 ports, the H
series can provide real-time video recording and playback. Digitally
recorded video is optimally compressed yet retains excellent image
quality. Also our new H SERIES DVR's.
