Looking for some advice here: I'm trying to find a USB capture device that can grab good-quality composite video.
I'll be connecting this to a Pi via USB to capture video from four cameras (multiplexed into a single signal). I'm not worried about latency and don't need audio; this is for the camera setup on our camper build. Idea is to continually record on all four sides of the camper, save that on a FIFO basis to some local storage, and if certain events trigger (eg, someone trying to open the vehicle doors, or a collision) send a snippet of that video off to the cloud somewhere.
I have an easycap knockoff that works as a proof of concept, but the video quality is terrible even captured natively from a single camera. I imagine it's going to be a blurry mess with those four signals combined.
I'm not expecting miracles from these ~500TVL cameras, but I know there's got to be a better capture solution out there!
