camera help

[clemmer]

Hello, I'm totally new to this forum and don't know anything about circuits really. I have a plan to wire a power supply and webcam to a digital picture frame that is powered and supplied through a USB/5V slot cord, to make a real action screen and camera like an automotive inspection camera. Can anyone tell me how to do this exactly? Thanks!

hi clemmer

I suspect you would be looking at a very difficult task there
Storage on a photoframe is treated as an external drive by a computer ... same as any other USB drive device
Therefore its not going to be directly possible to connect a USB camerat to the USB port on the P/F

There are much easier ways to do what you want to do .... there already exists
camera and screen units that can be used as reversing cameras etc

here is just one of 100's of hits on google

cheers
