Video-2-Pi. USB composite video capture grabber for Raspberry Pi 4 and Pi 3. Comes with timelapse video building scripts. Watch CCTV camera on your Pi's desktop. OpenCV library compatible.

Q: The specification states that pi 3 will do about 12fps at 720x576, what about the pi4 with 8gb could this capture the full frame rate 24/25fps?

Hi, any of the Pi4 models will do 25fps. It's not suitable for VHS though, only more modern things like CCTV cameras.

Q: Is this compatible with the pi zero's usb port?

Hi, yes it works with the Pi Zero's USB port. Just tested it for you on a Pi Zero W running from a 2.5A PSU with an unpowered 3 port USB hub.

Q: Does it works for win10, and how is the latency?

It's for a Raspberry Pi. If you want something that works with Windows 10 buy our Video-2-PC kit. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0049BE3TA

Q: I take it that it works with any linux os say mint?, utilising obs studio? i want to convert my old vhs tapes.

Hi, no actually it doesn't work with any Linux. It's tested with a Raspberry Pi though. This adapter isn't suitable for VHS, if you try you'll get a jumpy result. It is suitable for CCTV cameras and more modern equipment listed.
