Hi Yop16,

That camera is not easy (maybe impossible) for Raspberry pi. The camera you listed provides an analog signal which would need a converter to USB for the Pi. After that you would need a way to integrate that into the software yourself. It would be much simpler to use a USB webcam type of camera as the Pi/Crankshaft are setup for that already.

Sorry it's not simple to my knowledge, maybe someone else will have experience with a camera like this.

Not totally true. I have 2 analog cameras. I use 2 videograbbers. But not all the chipsets are supported. One is arkmicro and the other fuchia007 or something like that. It depends on the type of signal it gives.

@Bishamon1987 what chipset is arkmicro grabber? Mine is this:

#pi@raspberrypi:/home $ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 18ec:5555 Arkmicro Technologies Inc.

I'm strugling to make it work on RPI4/Crankshaft... Cam overlay does not work. However it is most likely problem with cam_overlay app not being supported by updated RPI4 OpenGL drivers...

I'll give a try on RPI 3B+ and believe it will work fine.
