hooked up to fairly basic cameras through coax cable. We currently have 9 cameras on a dual core Athlon 64 with about 1 TB SATA storage. This may be a little more than you need, but if you only need one camera, you could probably go with the 100 series card and a less powerful server. Zoneminder has a nice web interface that you can use to monitor your camera(s) and change settings/recording options. You can put the cameras in motion detection mode, record all the time, monitor all the time, etc. You can also define zones for each camera where you either specifically watch for motion or ignore motion. For instance, one of our cameras has a flickering monitor that is usually on in its view. We just set zoneminder to ignore the motion on the monitor.
Both the 200 and 100 series of the card we use can handle 4 cameras, the difference is that the 200 series has 4 processor chips (one for each camera), while the 100 series only has 1 processor that is shared for all the cameras. We ordered our 200 series cards from ICP America directly and I seem to remember that they were about $150 - $175 each.
Hope this helps.

Hello all.
In the pursuit of a light physical security solution, I was wondering -
does anyone recommend a small-time nanny-cam or web cam monitoring
system that can run atop Linux and accessed using a web browser? We're
looking to beef up physical security to our server room, but we don't
have tons to spend. We'd like the design discreet and simple for the
time being, until we can afford something huge.
Just wondering.
:-)
