Any help would be very grateful. Regards Gerry Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/6398-camera-through-laptop/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateurandy Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Basically USB uses a completely different electrical interface to a CCTV camnera, so you can't convert with a cable. If you try you'll damage the laptop or camera or both. You need an active device.

ian.cant Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I doubt you will find one either. Your probably going to need a BNC to AV (easy to get hold of) and then an AV to USB, not exactly a lead more of a piece of kit (not so easy to find, seen them on Ebay tho). You could try stripping down a USB web-cam and using the connections on a CCTV camera, not saying it will work but i would have thought it was possible.

breff Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 What about one of these. http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/in...oduct_uid=82615 and a phono/bnc converter. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

Guest Peter James Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 We can sell you a usb DVR card for around £60 bnc to usb with software for viewing and recording. Its not the best of quality kit but it does the job.

Guest Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Tried that once, didn't turn up much. I was looking for a SD or CF to composite out and possibly in for sending the sat nav to the LCD TV in the van. I was sure I'd seen one somewhere but now I think I may have been dreaming it.
