Has anyone any experience with computer controlled cctv software?

i have 2 cameras, a cctv capture card and some free software that came with it all, however, the software won't load correct and all the menu's are covered with "????" - however, the card is working fine as i am able to view both cameras


has anyone got any links to shareware or freeware software available on the net that can control upto 4 cameras with the ability to record either continuously, or timelapsed?

cheers
