Does anyone know how to get a SAA7146 based video capture card to work

card that I don't know much about. No markings on the card and lspci

This was an existing system about 7-8 years old that the hard drive
went bad and we lost all the software and such to run the system. I
was told I could have a few days to try to come up with a Linux (open
source) solution. I would like to eventually use Zoneminder (unless
someone has a better solution) to control the cameras and record the
video. But right now I am stuck with hardware issues.
Anyway, if you have a recommendation for a card that you know works,
that would probably be best. The cameras currently all come in on
cctv with bnc connectors -- to a bnc-to-vga connector into the board.
