security cameras with blue screen

I recently bought a couple of BNC PCI cards for an older computer that I'm using as a security system. the cards physically install just fine and are recognized as video0 and video1. My problem is whenever I attempt to view the cameras connected to these cards all I see is a blue screen whenever I opening Cheese or wxcam. I just recently bought a new BNC cable to test with, but I'm unsure of what other things I can try to get the video to work. The chips are recognized as bt878, and everything seems as though it's probably be detected as far as I can tell. I don't seem to get any error messages either. would anyone have any good ideas on how to troubleshoot this outside of buying more cables or cameras. The PCI cards in question are brand new.  Thanks in advance!!!
