Has anyone else tried ZoneMinder...? 

I had it running and  viewing on my phone until I tore down my network... I can confirm which < $30 eBay cards worked for me if anyone cares... I bought two of the same card from Luong Wong Do-do Trading, Etc, Ltd. in Chin-wan-istan somewhere and they both came with crap for drivers/software but both worked fine with ZoneMinder. bt848 I believe. I see the same card all over eBay, cheap.
