Since I’ve seen the eyesy I’m wondering if it will support one of these HDMI to USB Video Capture Adapters that are flying around for cheap on aliexpress, etc like this one [61ka-DUNKc-L-AC-SL1000 — ImgBB](https://ibb.co/7nX0Nqc) . Or if there are any plans to support it in the future?

Unfortunately the EYESY does not have a function for capturing incoming video. Thanks

Yes I get that. But since we are talking raspberry pi cpm3 and usb host I thought it might be possible to do something with that dongle.

Anyway mosey over to the [Patchstorage link](https://patchstorage.com/webcam/) to get the mode and details to add a new Kung Fu power to yer Eyesy.

OK, thanks a lot: That looks good and nice. Now I only have to save up for a unit.
