Connecting existing security cam system.
« on: October 22, 2009, 08:49:55 PM »
I love iCam! It works great with the built-in cam on my iMac.

I have an iMac with USB 1.0 and Firewire ports. My existing security monitor has analog rca outputs. Is there an analog to digital converter that could transfer the signal via USB or Firewire that would work with iCam?

I have a small Sony Handycam that might do the job via Firewire, but would I then need a driver to make it work?

Thanks!

We don't really have any experience with analog to digital video converters, but if there was possibly a USB of FireWire one that was treated as a standard video input device on your Mac then it might show up in the Video drop-down list on the iCamSource.

The iCamSource supports FireWire video inputs with Mac OS X 10.5 and later.
