I am presently using a webcam plugged in thru my usb terminal. I want to
eventually try an analog video or a cctv camera. Is there a video card and/or adapter i can connect to the outside usb terminal to accomplish the above? |

Is there a video card and/or adapter i can connect to the outside usb terminal to accomplish the above? There sure is. I use a USB 1.1 device called USBLive that allows for S-Video or RCA composite video input. It'll let you feed video from a camcorder, CCTV cam, vcr, dvd, PS2, etc... anything that outputs a normal video signal, you can use with a device like this. There are also USB devices from Dazzle that allow video input - shouldn't be too hard to find something like that on eBay really. -- Visit My Site: http://www.rubbertoe.com |

Belkin and X10 also make similar devices. Devices that are made for DVR may have a lot of cpu overhead when being used even if you are not activly recording. http://www.hauppauge.com/html/usb_data.htm |

puns spewed: Robert, I should have been more explicit! I want to be able to have streaming video for video chat sites such as yahoo, paltalk, msn, etc. Oh yeah, it'll do that too... I've used this setup with streaming webcams with WebcamXP, as well as the various chat apps like Yahoo and MSN. The computer just recognizes it as a Video for Windows device and you can use it in pretty much anything. I think you can even capture stills from it via TWAIN in programs like Paint Shop / Photoshop / etc. :-) -- Visit My Site: http://www.rubbertoe.com |

In Photoshop you go to FileImport and it will be listed there as a WIA device or by the cameras name |
