EDIT:
I found this.

Here is the pinout for the CVS one time use camcorder. Pin 1 starts at the end where J5 is printed on the PCB.

1 no connection
2 ground
3 no connection
4 Battery + (probably used to verify the battery level when recycling)
5 no connection
6 USB +5V
7 ground
8 USB Data +
9 USB Data -
10 ground

Pins 6 - 9 is the only pins needed to connect to a USB port.

    your best bet is to check out the following site: camerahacks.10.forumer.com/

    Not sure what you what to do but the CVS cam in not the easiest thing to work with.

    What do you want to do with the CVS camera? Do you want to be able to press the record/delete/play button(mostly record) with the Basic Stamp? I have a cvs that I bricked. I'll go play with the buttons now

    Well. Not to be mean but.. Thats a pretty crappy answer. Do you want to see it live? Or allow the stamp to record videos?

    your best bet then is to buy onne of those wireless cams at walmart or on ebay for about 30 or 40 bucks and get a video in video card for your pc. cgi.ebay.com/New-Anboqi-WIRELESS-PINHOLE-Spy-Cam-Camera-CCTV-NTSC_W0QQitemZ190023000689QQihZ009QQcategoryZ48632QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    i exactly know what you want meatstick, the pros do not have pity on us noobs [noparse]:)[/noparse] but i ve been looking for sometime into this and i can tell you that your best shot is buying a ccd camera for about 50 or 100 dollars (depends on camera resolution anything above 420 tvlines and 500 by 600 megapixels is pretty good) paired with a transmitter for about 40 to 80$ (depending on transmitter range) try to buy them paired because if not you going to have to modify it and you will run in to some trouble, you will also need to expand you power sorce because the camera and transmitter work with bout 9 or 12v, well i have not tried it myself yet but am sure it will work and i am also sure that ill run into some trouble but that is why you have to so your research, anyways pros! bash me with some comments on what i said wrong i need feedback too WILL THIS WORK?
