I found a Panasonic color camera and power supply. $20 bucks. model #
wv-GI324.
The lens says Tokins Television Lens 50mm 1:1.3

screw in mount. bnc connector.
This looks like it could have been a 'security camera' but was surprised
that it was color.


So now to figure out what I need to feed this to the computer.
I may have to get a cheap 'video server' or many a video capture card will
do it.

So does anybody know if a video capture card will work to export the video
to my webcamXP or do I need a video server.
Camera has only a BNC fitting.

I'd like to replace the cheap USB camera that I'm using to take the outside
shots with this Panasonic.

Please and thank you.

You can get a BNC to RCA adapter at Radio Shack (278-303) that
should solve the connector problem. Most any capture card/device
like below will work with most webcam programs.
