video capture directly to external hard drive
Posted: Mar 6th, 2013, 6:37 pm
Hi,
I just got my board camera and some video baluns and am trying to set up my video. I have an RCA output for the video feed to a monitor, but I don't want to bring a computer with me when I use the ROV. I do, however, want to capture the video that I record.
I've been searching online for the right thing, but don't know if I'm searching with the wrong vocabulary or what. That, combined with my limited knowledge of electronic media, is making this difficult.
What I would like to do is take my RCA output and probably run it through a splitter. Then, one connector will go to my monitor, and the other will go to some device that will capture my video directly to a file on a hard drive. (SD card or USB external drive, something easy).
Can anyone follow what I want to do here and is there anything like that available?
My cheap digital camera records video to an SD card, therefore my brain tells me there should be something cheap and easy to do this....
Thanks for the help.
