In a posting purporting to be from "Roman " <romankam at adelphia.net> but
lacking a digital signature, it is written:

Thanks for asking.  I'm interested too, but I don't have time to think
about it right now.

What kind of cameras are you using?  What do you have to pay for them?
How will they be interfaced to the computer?  Do they actually run at
the reduced rate, or will you sub-sample down from 30 fps?

I'm looking at a similar setup but with an old desktop rather than a
laptop and using more cameras.  Harbor Freight often has surveillance
cameras for ~$25.  They have analog output, so I'm thinking of building
a multi-camera digitizer as a HAK project.
