Okay, lets start off with the fact that I saw someone else on this forum do this mod but he didn't explain how he did it or answer my PM.
I bought this.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190000323672&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1
And this is my capture card.
Okay, I figured out how to wire in the Camera to the PSU molex connector.
The yellow wire is 12V, red wire is 5V and the black is ground.
Simple as soldering the wires together and mounting the camera somewhere in the case.
I am concerned with overloading the Pinhole camera and having to shell out another 50 bucks.
It came with a 9V dongle so that you can run it off of a battery. Is there any way I can step down teh 12V line so that the camera can use it at 9V? Or does the "AC-DC +8V 200mA" mean it can handle anything higher than 12V within reason?
My question now is how do you capture the video feed?
The camera works great going to my tv or camcorder with an RCA cable. But cannot get it to route into my Hauppauge WinTV-401 due to differences in the DVI input of the card and the difference in the RCA->DVI cable for the camera.
The RCA->DVI cable that I have for the camera has 8 holes in the center whilst the DVI-IN on the capture card only has 4 holes.
SOLUTION
WAIT!! I guess shouldn't use the cable that came with my ATI X800GT and must find the RCA-DVI converter that came with my WinTV card!!! That should fix the problem...if I can find it.
