The Image Capture control should function perfectly well with any capture card based on the BrookTree devices, or indeed any Video For Windows compliant device. This should include all VfW compliant USB Cameras. However, All House Access has only tested a limited number of capture cards. These are:
Hauppauge: They have a great selection of PCI cards.
