Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out how to connect three analog FPV cameras to my Windows 10 laptop for recording. The cameras include two from Readytosky and one from BETAFPV. The challenge I'm facing is that they're analog, and I haven't found a reliable method to wire them to my laptop. Any advice or solutions would really help!

What type of video format are your cameras using, NTSC or PAL? There’s a USB dongle I've seen that might work, like the AXgear EasyCap, which has multiple inputs. Just keep in mind it doesn’t support audio. If you're going with this option, you might want to check whether you need any special connectors for wiring it up.
You’ll need a video grabber for that! They're pretty small and usually come as USB sticks. Just connect your cameras to the composite video input on the grabber, and you should be good to go!
I checked out the AXgear device, and it has RCA inputs. For connecting to your cameras, you might need RCA adapters if your wires are JST connectors. Just be prepared: you might have to strip and solder them together. Also, remember that this won't power your cameras, so you'll need another source for that.
