I have four new Q-See BNC cameras I want to use in a surveillance system with my laptop and its native webcam.

The only way to connect these external cameras to a laptop is through a USB video capture device, like the ubiquitous EasyCap and its clones. I got one of these (SOMagic chip) and after putting on BNC/RCA plug adapters, it works with all four cameras at once in Win7/64 using the little bundleware program that came on the CD (no sound, though)...but so far, no other real third-party surveillance program sees these cameras, just the capture device itself as a blank camera -- not four live cameras through a capture device.

Will this arrangement work with Xeoma? I don't need to buy more stuff that doesn't work.

Thanks for any help!

First of all, you can see it for yourself in the trial edition of Xeoma (the downloaded file is by default in the trial edition). No need to buy licenses before you make sure it works for you.

Xeoma works with video capture devices that have separate chips for each channel and use standard drivers. Does Amcap (standard Windows utility) show image from your cameras?
