A CAM (Conditional Access Module) is technically a PCMCIA module with on-board decryption software. 

This is a module that fits in to set-top boxes and other reception units with a Common Interface slot, it acts as a smartcard reader for the selected encryption format. example if you wanted to subscribe to a service that uses Viaccess encryption, you would purchase a Viaccess CAM to insert the Viaccess smartcard. Each provider will tell you which encryption format they use, for example Irdeto, Conax, Cryptoworks, Mediaguard. 

Sky subscription viewing cards are not discussed on this page, the only domestic device currently close to an NDS videoguard CAM CI is the dragon cam and we do not currently stock this item. We do however have sky subscription viewing cards, that expats abroad living in Europe can use. More information about these are found or our sky pages. We will also be extending our range of products to include other viewing cards, so check back or contact us if there is something specific you had in mind.

There is not an official CI for domestic purposes currently available for Sky Digital which broadcasts in NDS, however the unofficial dragon cam can be used with a Sky Card, we don't currently stock the dragon cam and cannot answer questions on it, although this may change in the future.
