Im trying to 1st figure out if theres a better way to figgure out whitch one is video,power,ground, ect. other than testing each one, one by one in every possable combination. there not color coded. Is there a way to know whitch one is whitch?

Have a passion for the art of circutboards.

Looking for Someone who has free time and can help me understand these kind of circutboards and help just understand electronics and components in general.IMG_20140815_193431.jpg IMG_20140815_193414.jpg IMG_20140815_193414.jpg IMG_20140815_193431.jpg

Research.
Look at where the wires are joined on the board.
Power will most likely run toward a filter/regulation circuit.
Ground is often the largest part of the circuit board...
Is this a digital signal or analogue signal camera?

Im guessing it's a analog camera because it's cheap. looing more like analog signal. but then again im not 100% sure. it was labeled micro pinhole camera.

On the third picture:
The 78L05 part is the voltage regulator
-right pin is the 5 volts regulated output
-center and bottom pins are ground
-left pin is the external supply input pin

Maybe you can use it with the two connectors:
-the top right one (unsoldered) as supply
-the bottom left one as video output

The camera is certainly composite according to the NTSC sticker

with a continuity function of a multimeter you can check the various pins to check the components pins --> connector mapping
Note that a large component was missing on the board under the Prot lettering
