Analog capture card(s) for new BI build

[Arctic1602]

any recommendations for analog capture cards for a new Blue Iris build. Planning to eventually get everything over to IP, but this would allow me to do it in stages and not run 2 systems for some time. TIA

For years I used a 4 channel card from Blue Cherry. It used WDM drivers on Windows 7 and it worked fine. Then the card bit the dust. Tried to purchase a new one from Blue Cherry and it was a nightmare that ended up with Curtis (owner I think) abruptly canceling the order. I can't in good conscious suggest you deal with them. I ended up using my existing analog cables to provide 12v power to wifi IP cameras. I realize most people poopoo wifi cameras but mine have been very solid.

I just looked on ebay and there are some capture cards for sale there but most seem to be for linux rather than windows.

That wont work with blue iris...the cheapest solution is to buy a modern dahua/hikvsion dvr or a hybrid then use it as an encoder...sometimes you can find axis encoders cheap on ebay..
