I decided to repurpose my wife's old Sony camcorder as a webcam so she can see her grandson etc.
I remembered it had a FireWire port so looked for the PCi one I have. Needle in a hay stack
Anyway saw one on eBay decided it would be quicker than looking at just £4. It came. I fitted it. It seemed to install driver so I went to get camera. Wife has tidied up.....so 4 camcorders later I still have not found it and none of them have fire wire on.
2 of the others have Din plugs which I think need a capture card. (Not sure I can live stream from them anyway) the other has micro USB and wife seems to have tidied those up as well.
Any suggestions on a video card / USB box that would allow me to stream video.
Bear in mind most of the cameras only have Phono sockets and I am not sure new devices can handle that....
Anyway open to suggestions.
