Hi Christopher,

The camera is a bullet security cam in a outdoor enclosure. It is
attached to the Linux box with an Osprey 100 video capture card. The
card uses the bt878 chipset, so the drivers for it are in the standard
kernel. Maximum quality and being able to run on Linux easily were the
deciding factors. There are three inputs on the card. If I do another
camera, I would go to ebay for it.
