does anyone know how to convert a webcams usb plug to a rca plug so i can connect it to my monitor as a backup camera cause im too cheap to buy a backup camera. ive tried searching on the net but ive had no luck. i know ill have to power it somehow so the more information i get from you guys the better it will be for me.

the camera is a logitech quick cam express

please let me know

thanks

Jeff

You should be able to convert it you would may have to convert the voltage down to 3 volts. that is the standard voltage of a usb
hope that helps
