I
have
2 cheap cameras already, and was looking at a cheaper solution than buying
a 4
channel card!!
Ah
well back to the drawing board, (Or perhaps putting a PC in the
garage!!)
Cos thats not what they were designed for. Why
not buy some cheap cameras with a video output and connect these to a 4
channel PCI card. Then you can send your signals down CAT5 or better still
coax or CAT5 with KAT5 units.

Subject: RE: [ukha_d] Extending USB
Connections
Excuse the blonde question :-)
but why is their such a limitation on the length
of
cable for USB? - do they use very low voltages for their signalling, and as
such this would deteriorate over any distance - say 15
metres?
<Whinge mode>
It
just seems such a waste, that I can buy a reasonable colour web cam for
under £50 and I could then have more than one connected to my pc, that they
would all have to be within a few metres of node Zero!!

Most don't , but I'm
sure there's some that do ... somewhere ...

yeah,
gotcha.

I'm sure I've seen them around,
but I've no idea where. Perhaps someone
else
has?
