skycam 0 Posted October 10, 2008 Hi all, Hope someone can help with this. I want to capture video and be able to control an analogue video camera from my laptop including zoom etc. What do I need in terms of hardware and software to make this happen with video editing and burning if possible. Thanks for your comments in advance. Oh and can anyone recommend an analogue video camera? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted October 12, 2008 Well first of all, how much "control" are you after? Most software will allow you to zoom on the captured image, but it will get very blocky, very fast. If you want to actually control things like camera movement and optical zoom, you need a PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera, and those tend to be a lot more expensive. Which leads to the other question: how much are you expecting/planning/willing to spend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
