It will only have composite resolution ,
but it should work. I can't see a power supply though.

I think the red connector on the lead is a 12V power connector, not an RCA socket. That is common for composite security cameras - Red barrel connector for power, Yellow for video and White for audio - I have one in a bird nesting box that I'm hoping to eventually hook up to a video capture device on my Pi to use with motion.

First time I read over your reply I missed the camera bit and thought you had an LCD screen in a bird box :lol:

Well, have to keep our feathered friends amused with recordings of that documentary with the little yellow bird and the puddy tat ;-)
