== DICO800 ==Uninstall the existing drivers for the video capture card & the Pico2000 Peaque software aswell.Download the Dico800 software & manual from the links below & install the drivers from the DICO drivers folder for you capture card. then do the auto run setup in the dico800 software you downloaded.== The TE104 4 Channel Capture Card aka The "Pico 2000" Card ==This capture card is a 4 channel multiplexed card (25fps PAL and 30fps NTSC) which means that the 25/30 fps is split up between the 4 channels i.e. you get 30 fps TOTAL for all 4 video inputs. These cards usually ship with Windows software called Pico 2000 or Peaqe which is identical to Pico2000 except for the name. The Pico 2000 software is reasonably functional but is terribly unreliable and as it was ripped off from Canadian company Novex there will be no fixes or updates to it. The streaming over the web also relies on active-X so is Windows only.Linux:Under Linux the card works fine with the standard bttv drivers, I have card type set to 77 which works fine. (I'm using insmod option "radio=0 card=77 tuner=-1") If you find the bttv driver takes a long time to load (a few minutes) add this option in your modules.conf file for loading the i2c-algo-bit module: options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1*[http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome Motion] (open source) - Absolutely rock solid and does everything.

The card works on the "Generic Brooktree Card with four Composite Inputs" setting. *[http://www.supervisioncam.com/ SupervisionCam] (free download, 25USD registration)I found that SupervisionCam did crash occasionally and the GUI isn't the best but it does offer a lot of features like running external programs and sending emails on motion detection.

Might seem simple to most, but it perplexedme for ages. Therefore, the answer is to:1. Tediously disable EVERYTHING non-essential in the PC2. Get the PICO card to work (which it did when everything else wasdisabled)3. Then start adding devices one after the other until the PICO cardstops working (Security Key Not Found etc., etc.)That last device you added is the one causing the trouble in the firstplace. In my case an integrated INTEL NETWORK device on themotherboard. I disabled it in BIOS; got the PICO to work and thenadded a cheap PCI network card, which got me back online withoutupsetting the PICO.Yet prior to discovering this problem, Windows XP Pro reportedeverything hunky dory. No yellow exclamation marks or red crosses.Even now I cannot understand how this INTEL NETWORK device wasbuggering things up because it was not sharing IRQ, I/O or memoryaddress with the PICO. Oh well....Another Wndows mystery unsolved.TIPS FOR ISTALLING AND RUINNING PICO 2000 VER. 1.8 WITH THE UCC44-PORT CAPTURE CARD FROM GAMMAGRAPHX INC. (WINXP PRO ROUTINE).1. Put card in PCI slot2. Restart the machine3. Install drivers (Star Imavision Video/Audio capture)4. Install PICO 2000 software.5. Reboot the machine6. Make sure you have FULL sharing enabled on file: c:\DSR-Video\OTHER POINTS 1. The company that sold me this kit said I mustn't load the driversbecause, if I did, the card wouldn't work. This is not true. The UCC4card works with or without the drivers in Windows XP Pro. Without thedrivers it seems to prefer IRQs 10 or 12 where it sits as <multimediaaudio and video devices>. 'Course if you don't load the drivers, WINXPPro keeps prompting you for them each time you reboot. So if you don'twant the drivers you have to keep cancelling out the Add New HardwareWizard. A pain in the ass really.2. There's a very clever bloke who has kindly supplied WDM drivers andother utlitites for this card which allow it to work with any WDMcompatible Windows capture program (I tried them with Windows MovieMaker and Ulead MSPRO 7 Video Capture and they worked fine and you caneven capture directly to MPEG 2 with Ulead using the right CODEC).Those drivers and some other stuff can be had here:http://btwincap.sourceforge.net/download.htmlThese are Brooktree drivers which work with the UCC4 even though itsays Connexant on the capture chip. Believe me. The Brooktree driverswork great. Meanwhile, BTSPy (also at the above URL) allows you tocustomise the card when installing the Brooktree Drivers. This allowsany Windows program to access all four ports on the card (but so far Ihave not found a program that allows viewing them all at the sametime). However, you can capture from up to four cameras individuallyby selecting the appropriate input. But no Quadding or multiplexingwithout the right software.Nevertheless, BTSpy required that your UCC4 is working with PICO 2000(or other multiplex software) before it can spy out your card'scapabilities. So, in case your card isn't working, here's what BTSPyreported for my card (when I tested it with the DICO software, which IDID manage to get to work).************************************************### BtSpy Report ###General information:Name:ucc4 ver. 2.0Chip: Bt878 , Rev: 0x00Subsystem: 0x00000000Vendor: Gammagraphx, Inc.Values to MUTE audio:Mute_GPOE : 0x00f000Mute_GPDATA: 0x000000Has TV Tuner: NoNumber of Composite Ins: 4Composite in #1Composite1_Mux : 2Composite1_GPOE : 0x00f000Composite1_GPDATA: 0x000000Composite in #2Composite2_Mux : 3Composite2_GPOE : 0x00f000Composite2_GPDATA: 0x000000Composite in #3Composite3_Mux : 1Composite3_GPOE : 0x00f000Composite3_GPDATA: 0x000000Composite in #4Composite4_Mux : 0Composite4_GPOE : 0x00f000Composite4_GPDATA: 0x000000Has SVideo: NoHas Radio: NoAdd here all the comments you want!If your card can decode Stereo TV , andyour card does NOT use one of the followingchips, you will have to "peek" the rightGPDATA and GPOE values to enable Stereo andSAP audio.

In these you will beable to access each port on the card and capture from each oneidividually (but NOT all four at the same time, as you can with PICO2000).== LEDSET CCTV4 WDM Driver ==Have you purchased a cheap 4 channel video capture card on ebay lately that looks like the one pictured on the left? To see listings of these cards on ebay in a new window click here. You couldn't resist the price, but when you received it you found, to your dismay, that you could only use the capture card with the supplied software. Which is a bootleg version of PICO 2000, software that was originally written by UnivisionCanada.com.Not only are you running bootleg software but the supplied drivers are only compatible with this bootleg of PICO2000, thus your card is useless and cannot be used to capture video in any other windows applications at all.Well don't throw that card away! Because now, by installing our new CCTV4 driver, you can unlock your cards full potential. The cards feature a very high quality Conexant video capture chip on a high quality PCI card, so why waste it? Install our driver and your card will: Become a standard windows device.Be visible in Windows device manager.Be compatible with all video applications.Allow video capture (PAL & NTSC).Capture video with minimal CPU useage.http://www.ledset.com/camwiz/cctv4/index.htm
