Hi:

We have had some success with RSImage.  Its an image capture program made by
roperscientific - It may work if your camera uses the pvcam interface
roperscientfic uses.  I

Another option is micromanager http://www.micro-manager.org/index.php

It an iimage capture program designed to work with ImageJ - I've only done
preliminary testing with micro-managre so I can't comment on it.  I really
like  the idea behind micro-mananger - an opensource system that will work
with as many different systems as possible.
