Have a look at USB adapters. SD video is not that high bit rate,
especially if the adapter is compressing. No idea of the marketplace, although I have a $7 composite video USB capture that's probably
awful. BNC is just composite video I think - do they power from there
or external power?
If you have a lot of USB devices consider extra USB PCIe cards, but 4
behind a USB 3 hub is probably ok.

Today, there was a hint of sanity. I played around with the Zoneminder Monitors' Sources configuration, disabling the card inputs with no
camera, and other variations of the Source inputs. Briefly, I saw a live
image of the outside of the house, but when I tried to reproduce it on a different input, it would not, and I could not get it back on the
previously working one. But, I have at last seen the Source reference
for some tabs on the Console screen go green instead of red, albeit
it with a blue screen, and I have seen the ZM Log produce only "Capturing......." messages instead of a stream of pink-coloured
alarms, the wording of which means nothing to me. I will next
concentrate on trying to get the working image back, and hoping to
proceed from there.
Wish me luck!
