The [[Pico UCC4 Conexant 878A 4-port PCI DVR Card]] is known by many names.Many people have acquired a somewhat fully functional, non-trial, free version of the Pico 2000 software, or in some cases, even paid for it via an online auction site such as eBay.  This version of Pico2000 does not require a key for activation.  However, it is a beta version of commercial software that is not supported by the developer.  In some cases, it may even be a version that has been modified by a 3rd party.A common [[CCTV Software Package]] bundled with the UCC4 Video Capture Card clones sold on eBay and overseas vendors.  Many people have acquired a somewhat fully functional, non-trial, free version of the Pico 2000 software, or in some cases, even paid for it via an online auction site such as eBay.  This version of Pico2000 does not require a key for activation.  However, it is a beta version of commercial software that is not supported by the developer.  In some cases, it may even be a version that has been modified by a 3rd party.This Devil's version of Pico2000, or "Peaqe" has certain defects, which make it unstable in some situations.  It does not include a production installer and has to be installed in a very specific way for it to work.  For some systems, it may not be possible to get the software to work at all.This Devil's version of Pico2000, or "Peaqe" commonly bundled with the Pico (Conexant Fusion 878) card has certain defects, which make it unstable in some situations.  It does not include a production installer and has to be installed in a very specific way for it to work.  For some systems, it may not be possible to get the software to work at all.The Dico software uses different drivers for the cameras as does the PICO software.  The two are not compatible.  Do not try to install Dico on a system that was configured for Pico.  It is recommended that you do a clean install of Windows first before switching from PICO to DICO.The Dico software uses different drivers for the cameras as does the PICO software.  The two are not compatible.  Do not try to install Dico on a system that was configured for Pico.  It is recommended that you do a clean install of Windows first before switching from PICO to DICO. If a clean Windows install is not practical, it is recommended that you uninstall all previous capture card drivers. * One method of cleaning out capture card drivers is to use btinstaller.exe available from [http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/btwincap/btwdmdrvinstaller5.3.8.zip?download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/btwincap/btwdmdrvinstaller5.3.8.zip?download]. * It is recommended to run btinstaller.exe in Safe Mode, then select the Uninstall option and reboot the pc when the Un-installer completes. Upon reboot you can proceed to install the Dico 800 software. It should be noted that some owners of the Devil's version have reported '''success using Dico 800 software''' (specifically version 4.073003) '''with virtual IRQ''' (those above 16). Dico 800 can be made to function quite well with up to 4 cameras, although the lack of documentation does leave some questions as to the exact functionality of a few features.== Conexant Fusion 878A ==The Conexant Fusion 878A chip is a recent incarnation of the Brooktree Bt878A chip.  The booktree Bt878A is successor to the well known Bt848. The Bt848 was designed by Brooktree, which is now Conexant.  This chip is common on video capture cards and cctv cards. Why do we mention this?  Because this is the chip on the Pico PCI CCTV card.  This is also a chip commonly used on many video capture devices, TV cards, and is supported by a wide range of video capture software.  However, video capture software supporting Bt878A that is not designed for CCTV will likely only allow you to access one camera port at a time.  [[Image:conexantfusion878A.png]] To configure the PCI cards on linux:=== UCC4 PCI Card Configuration Tips For Linux ===
