-Currently I cannot find [Linux] drivers for this card (swann dvr 4), I have emailed the chipset manufacturers and swann.. however have not received any response yet. I will chase this up, so far I cannot recommend this card as it seems to be an unsupported chipset under [Linux].  
-I will post more information when I find any more.
