I'm still trying to find a video capture card that won't crash Dell
servers, and ran across a Blackmagic BDLKDUO2 DeckLink Duo 2. It claims to support Linux. I'm also seeing, in the few non-Blabkmagic or sales pages I can find, that they like "binary blobs". I also haven't been able to find anything about o/s or library requirements.
Has anyone run across these cards, or know anything at all about them?
All we're doing with them is running a few video cameras in for surveillance of our secure rooms, no audio, nothing fancy, with the motion package reading the input.
I would use tcp/ip network cameras, ideally with PoE to simplify running power to them. plus cat-5 is a lot easier to run than coax or HDMI.
I've got one of these, works well enough. https://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Megapixel-Resolution-monitoring-TV-IP320PI/d...
I'm not using it, but these should work great with ZoneMinder or most any other video surveillance/recording package.
