Neurotic 0 Posted April 25, 2011 Hi, Basically I had a 4 camera system with I-catcher console working beautifully, everything configured to a tee.. motion detection (even filtered out outside light interference 98%), email alerts, sms alerts, iphone access, https access, etc. So here's the prob.. system worked for about 2 months with some powered hubs which I don't think was necessary afterall (thx Soundy) Rebooted and everything went to sh*t. I think I may have managed to blow the hubs (had some weird daisy chaining going on..) or the usb controller cos now even 1 cam plugged into comp doesn't work after rebooting. Everything else works fine tho build it myself.. Also cams are connected with active extender cables. Max about 5m from pc unit location If USB is outta the question, I need something where the cams are roughly same dimensions as this: http://jhcomputers.ca/images/product%20-%20webcam%20-%20Microsoft%20LifeCam%20VX-700.jpg Pinhole camera might be an option? That running at 360x and 1fps is plenty. But above all must be I-catcher console compatible! I love this software and bought the iphone apps to go with it. Cost.. hmm.. this is the biggy.. as cheap as possible probably dont mean much.. mainly I'm after reliability not 30fps 1500x whatever.. 350x @ 1fps is plenty! Hoping someone has gone through something similar.. Thanks heaps!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soundy 1 Posted April 26, 2011 According to the website, these are (some of) the capture cards that will work with iCatcher: http://www.icode.co.uk/icatcher/cctvshop/capture-cards-c-8.html They also list a range of IP cameras that will work with the software, no additional hardware required: http://www.icode.co.uk/icatcher/cctvshop/ip-cameras-c-3_1.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
