You should also check our Wiki HCL and the HCL for your Distro.
It's always a good idea to google on the hardware your considering just to make sure it has no problems. ie. in the google search string you could do
to search our domain only for other users experiences.

And when your card does not work, realize that there are hundreds of different cards. And each one is often branded with many different names. A name, link, and picture can really help a lot. If I see a post with "I have China Special PX-1234 and it doesn't work" and that is all, I have no answer to give.

The link in the initial "read this" post for checking hardware compatibility is broken.
I found this in the wiki https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Hardware_Compatibility_List
