How would I go about using a video capture card to record my surveillance cameras in Vista? I have a single input video capture card and a 8 channel multiplexer. I want to record the feed from the multiplexer into the capture card just using Vista if I can. I was just wondering if I can do it using the Vista OS and not install 3rd party software.

Thanks in advance,

Tuff

You would need to shop for a video capture card that will run with WIN VISTA to allow capture of video through the card and not interfere with the OS. I use a Haupage card that will run with XPPRO but not Vista.

The card I'm using is a TV Tuner. My plan is to use the signal out of the system to feed the TV tuner. As long as the capture card works with Vista I should be good. I don't think I need to use VIsta OS to capture. I will use the softward for the card to drive the signal.

Your thoughts?

Thanks,

Tuff
