iCam RCA Cameras

[roodrigox]

Dear gentlemen

I bought the icam and I am very pleased with the app. And I'm writing here because I need help.

I have an iMac and would like to put 4 cameras in my home, but that IP cameras are very expensive here in my country. And there are two types of cameras more accessible: USB camera and cameras with RCA plugs.

But for the cameras RCA I have to install a capture card, just that I can not install this in my iMac. Then in that case, I would have to buy an external capture card. And the only one with good price I thought was that the link below. But the ad says it works only with Windows operating system.

What can I do to put cameras with RCA plugs that have night vision, so I do not have to buy another computer with Windows?

We don't really have any experience with RCA to USB video converters, but maybe some of our other users have.

ok, if I buy a USB HUB and 4 USB Cameras will work with my iMac?

thank you!

[Stefan]

That depends if your Mac's USB bus can handle running four USB webcams at once, which it may not be able to. If you are going to buy a USB hub, I would be sure to get a powered USB hub to support all of those cameras.
