[casemoree 0]

Hi, is it possible to use a video capture card inside PC to record images from e.g. a dome camera, on the hard drive?

sure, any analog video input (yellow) can be recorded

Thanks matjaz.

Will it only work with analogue ie not with a digital signal?

WebcamXP works for me as it provides one source Free http://www.webcamxp.com/products.aspx but the downside is that you will have webcamxp as a watermark on the bottom left. If your willing to go for webcamXP Private for 45 euros then you can remove the watermark and put in some useful into like CPU and RAM and how many users are connect/viewing the live feed. Also you can have up to 5 sources and also if you have an android phone you can download ip cam viewer lite it works great

 

also webcamxp don't offer PTZ this is why i don't use this software no more, However if you have a network cam with PTZ functions then this is what you after, If not then i would go for this software called i-Cacher what offers me auto tracking (the camera can move to follow movement through a monitored area) but is very pricey 139.95 pounds but main companys use this software like Dominos and KFC http://www.icode.co.uk/icatcher/products/studies/DominosCS.pdf
