Cheers,
Bob

It was me!

The software runs on Linux and is available from http://motion.sourceforge.net/. It's very reliable and has been running without interference since January. I also run an Apache and PHP server on the same box and it's never stropped or fallen over (unlike this Win 2K machine the BSOD's every now and again)

There are loads of people using 4 channel cards on the mailing list and there's always plenty of free advice.

The thread where I waxed lyrical about this http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=12219&page=2

Hope that helps,

Neil.

My system is from http://www.123cctv.com Although they are in the states, they do have download info. It's is kinda fun when I can dial into my system from anywhere in the world and have a look at what is goin on outside the shop....

CoffCup do a nice one I had it set up nicely to post every few minutes to my personal web space by FTP. http://www.coffeecup.com/download/download.php?id=017

With my camera setup I use a single input TV card and a seperate cammera switcher..

There is also a bootable CD based system around runs from its own version of Mandrake Move Linux - no hard disk install
