Lanner Capture Cards

[trendkill]

Hi, do anybody has experience with Lanner VC-448DX and VC-8016 with ZM?
One VC-8016 + two VC448DX in one system? I have to make a 20 and a 24 channel systems, and I'm puzzled.

Lanner cards are not supported by Zoneminder, specifically because there is no Video4Linux support for the chipset they are using. Also because the card is hardware compression and porting the chipset to Video4Linux would be a waste since you wouldn't get any performance gain. These type of cards are meant to stream MPEG4 / H.264 video and not access JPEG images directly.

Note: The chipset may support JPEG access (dual streaming) but it wouldn't make much sense to spend time producing a driver for Video4Linux.

Ohh, I see. I just thinking about it, because on their site they writes:
OS Support
Windows XP
Ubuntu Linux 8.04
Fedora 10
CentOS 5.2

Thanks!!!!
