Video recording help, read details

[maggiemay]

I'm trying to make a helmet cam for when i go snowboarding, i have a few small cameras to use, ps2 eye-toys and a small one labeled "pc 166 xs ".

my first question is regarding the small camera, its cable has 4 wires (2 black, red, blue) and I am not sure which are power and which are video input/outputs. how can i find out?

my second question is how can i make these cameras record and save video?
i have a variety of electronic components to work with as well as a few dismantled digital cameras and sd cards for memory, i also have a basic stamp.

im new to electronics so any info on any of this would be very helpful

Perhaps have a look online at similar cameras, maybe there is a standard color convention for the leads? Are you able to see any of the electronics in the camera, to maybe see what the different colors connect to? Post a pic if you can. Beyond this, I'm afraid I'm no help. ☹[/size][/color]

I wish you well with your project.
