equipment

In order to use i-Catcher you need to have a video capture device installed in your machine. This is generally either a video capture card/TV card or a USB web cam. i-Catcher should work with any Video for Windows (VfW) compatible device.  Devices are selectable from within the application.  The USB devices connect directly to a USB port on your computer, where as a capture card/TV card provides a composite video connector to attach to your video device such as a video camera or a security camera.

If you plan to use more than one capture device on your PC, pay particular attention to compatibility.  Some PCI capture cards do not like to have more than one copy of the driver running, hence are not compatible in a multi-camera environment.  USB cards are now available with full USB bandwidth on each port, allowing up to four USB devices to be used on one PC. We have identified Osprey cards from ViewCast as being ideal for multi-camera installations, for more information please click on the Osprey Link below.

iCode contracts some external companies to build specialist equipment.  Below is a list of equipment that we use to improve the flexibility of i-Catcher.

• Night Vision Equipment (Infra-Red Spotlights)

• Remote Controlled Vehicle Cameras 

• Osprey Capture Cards (from ViewCast)

• Wireless Cameras (2.4Ghz Video Transmitters and Receivers)
