Hey all, I am new to this forum and am hoping someone could help me out here. My dad stumbled upon a CCD camera with the model: IR 4848EV, Type (4-9mm)NTSC, Power 12VDC. A link as been included to an image of the type that I am talking about http://store.infinitwave.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=56_41&product_id=167 I thought this was really cool and am big on computers and technology, but have never had the chance to actually mess around with something like this. All this is is the camera and a wire coming from the camera that runs into a thicker part on the wire, then splits into two wires. I really have no clue how these things work, or even where to begin! But, if possible I would love to mess around with it and try getting it to work. Could anyone help me understand this, and understand how I can get it to run? I am not even sure if the device is functional, but I would like to at least make an attempt at using it rather than having it sit and do nothing. Also, is this device computer based so that I could connect it to my laptop and have it record, or would it need a separate recording device? Thanks all in advance for your time! Hope to hear back soon.
