[Discuss] streaming webcam

[j.natowitz at rcn.com (Jerry Natowitz)]

I've done some video acquisition at work.  We have been using bt848 based PCI and PCIe cards for many years.  They are cheap and fast, but since they are considered consumer grade, they are subject to change without notice.

I'm not sure what we use as a camera with those boards, I only care that the pixels get delivered on time and in order :-)

I suspect the security cameras may be a good choice.
