Check out Mark Tinguely's page "Multimedia Video Capture on FreeBSD":

   http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~tinguely/mbone-freebsd/video.html

We at MITRE are using the Talisman Sequence P1S (which is recognized as a 
Matrox Meteor) together with the Matrox driver cited on Mark's page. It 
works great with vic.

I don't know offhand what application you would use with it to get 
priodic snapshots.
