NothingInCommon

so I should be able to splice a yellow RCA cable , solder the wires, find a 12v DC power source, and it will work?

well its a $220 camera, and i thought it would be a shame to go to waste if i was able to get the right equipment.. it has 2 wires, yellow and red (12V DC) it is wrapped in a mesh of interwoven wires..

Here is my situation: I came across this pioneer back up camera, but as you can see the tip was cut off. I spliced it open to expose the wires. I am wondering if there is any way I can salvage this camera and put it to good use using a computer to record during the night time?
