Need Help with Tiny wireless cam

[adiony]

Hi,

First off I'm new... so don't just laugh at my problem. 

 

I recently have begun a project to construct the most complicated model rocket ever. While the sanity of this idea is still in question, I have gone ahead with rough planning and have hit a bit of a snag. I know these forums are not for model rocketry, but the problem I have hit, is. I need a mini camera that has a wireless transmitter (add-on/built-in doesn't matter) that can either be received, or the received signal converted to, USB. And, I need to use it as a video capture device on OBS Studio. Just for a bit of context, this will be used to live stream footage from the rocket to our youtube channel.

 

Any and all help is appreciated.

USB is not a file type such as .mp3, .mp4 or .mkv which are file types for audio or sound.  File types like .txt and .doc are file types for documents and such.  So, don't fully understand what you mean by converted to USB?

From memory, if you have spare time you can theoretically get a Raspberry Pi and hook up a camera module then code the software to wirelessly transmit the camera footage to your main stream device but I think there is a slight delay in the streamed footage, but I doubt it would be that much of an issue.

I mean that there is a receiver that has an AV (composite) output, and I want a USB output (USB A cable)

Thanks, I will keep that as a backup plan. Thank you very much.
