Solution for front door peephole security camera

[chrisbirkinshaw]

I wish to have a camera in my front door which looks through a small peephole at whoever is ringing my doorbell. The cameras I can find on ebay are composite video out.

Did anyone get a good solution working here? Preferably to USB (have no free PCI slots).

Thanks,

Chris

You can't run USB cable for more than 5m. Is your lmce box near the door? I have seen only composite cameras that have this function. Other way would be to stick one webcam directrly to your existing peephole, it is ugly but it should work.

Yeah it's composite only. You can run USB over cat5 :-)

So any suggestions for a USB composite video capture card that's compatible?
