Ownership verified by DX Muito bom mesmo
Posted by Lopufe on 7/15/2009
Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros: Bem pequeno e com bom acabamento.
Funciona sem com ou sem o software de monitoramento. Dá para capurar vídeos de fitas VHS.
A qualidade da captura é muito boa, mesmo com 640x480x30 FPS não perde quadros.

Cons: Sem o software de monitoramento só dá para usar a entrada 2 do dispositivo.
Se as quatro funcionassem, um outro sofware de vigilância poderia ser utilizado.

Other Thoughts: O meu veio sem o CD e eles mandaram um ZIP pelo Skype.

Bottomline: Mesmo precisando do atendimento, foi uma excelente compra.
Usei num projeto no meu trabalho e funcionou melhor do que o esperado

Pros: For about $16 ($18 and change when I bought it), the EasyCAP is an excellent bargain for those who just want to display up to 4 video cameras plus an audio channel and have some sort of capture capability for both the video and still pictures. It also provides a time stamp and a user customizable channel identifier. The EasyCAP also includes both video signal loss and motion alarms that actually work very well (and have adjustable sensitivity).

Cons: This product suffers the same shortcomings as most products of this nature. The hardware is excellent but, the software package is weak. The EasyCAP connects easily to both the computer and video/audio devices. The software basically does its job but, is poorly thought out and tested. As a result, beyond doing the basic tasks, the software either doesn't support what you want to do or its features simply don't work.
One feature that's touted but does not work is the e-mail notification feature. I can't get it to connect to my ISP's mail server (I use a local ISP rather than one of the internet big boys so, it should work).
The user guide is okay for the initial setup but is essentially worthless for explaining usage of the EasyCAP. It does little more than parrot the words you can see in the various panels on the screen.

Other Thoughts: Unless someone can track down, kidnap and chain, zhong kai ran to a desk and convince him(?) to continue refining the software, I suspect it will never improve. The software has the look and feel of a quickie, contract job by some free-lance programmer or perhaps a computer science major doing a side job for tuition. There are even typos in the software seen on the screen and the usual "Asian English" we've become resigned to.

Bottomline: Is anybody out there continuing to update and support this fine little piece of hardware with some better and more useful software?

Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros: -Very portable
-The build quality is great

Cons: -The software is not that great;
the motion dection does not work very well as it takes one picture and does not take another for 3-5seconds;
it does not support network viewing;
while recording if the camera is disabled then the alarm doesn't even sound until you stop recording!;
the STMP mail function does not work at all for me

Other Thoughts: Be aware that the software is not so great.
I have not found any alternative software, as I wish to change to a better program with more stable features.

Bottomline: Buy it if you need to capture a small camera that uses AV

Pros: this is a nice product, the pack is ok and the rca color and numbers makes it east to identify.
after installing the driver it works easily.
picture is at ok quality

Cons: the software isn't so good, sometime it's a problem to see a picture from the cameras even if it is properly installed,
needs to close and re open the program to work

Other Thoughts: don't try to use it with USB 1.1!!!
It won't work!
when I used it for the first time with USB 1
I didn't sow anything that looks like a picture...

Bottomline: this is ok and at a good price, the software isn't great, but ok.
DO NOT try if you have only USB 1.1
It wont work
