Want to connect an older camera to my computer. Will this work using usb on my computer since it has no RS232( Windows 8.1) ?

It should work as I've connected various radio equipment, going from RS232 to USB into the pc. I assume the camera has an RS23 port. My systems run WIN 7 and have no problems. The cable comes with all you need. Good Luck!!

It should work it is a USB connection. The software is the issue, I had problems saving the files;but I'm using Windows 7.

In most cases yes, but I have only used a limited group of old movie tapes that were already adapted to a usb input from my video camera equipment. My suggestion is that equipment like this is hard to say universally that it will work on every system, but it pretty basic in its operation as well as inexpensive, and worth a try if this is the application you are seeking.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER:Hello Allan,Thank you for showing interest in our products. This is hard to say if the serial adapter will work. It seems like you have an older version of the SL-814 since the newer ones have USB ports built in. I can foresee problems with the legacy software and not with the adapter itself. In this case, the sound meter will only work with legacy PCs that have built in COM ports and that are Windows XP and older.

I've use with Windows 7. Its a USB 2.0 hub I see no reason why it would not work with Windows 8.1 as Win8.1 should be backward compatible with USB 2.0 standards.

It did not work with my firewire device, but that was trying to transfer high grade audio, so USB 2.0 may not been able to handle the amount of data I was trying to send it. It was a gamble when I bought it, and the package specifically shows a camera to USB as a compatible device, so it may be worth a few bucks to try it out. No way to know if the drivers will work and the device will be recognized without trying, but for a few bucks, it may be worth rolling the dice.

It depends on your camera and it's connection. Most USB electronics are still USB 2.0. USB 3 is not always compatible and there is a slight chance of it not working and damaging the camera if the camera is not USB 3.0. If your camera is USB 2.0 or older USB 1.0 then you might be better off getting one of these on this page:

The USB standard - the rectangular connector - does not handle signals in the same voltage range nor frequency range of RS-232 - the mini "audio" connector. Note that there is no standard to govern RS-232 connections using the audio connector. I would be afraid of damaging my computer using a "standard USB to mini jack" adapter - no such standard exists. Sorry, there has to be some signal translation "intelligence" on one end or the other...thxww

yes, it seems to work just fine with my dell laptop running windows 8.1. I just installed the driver, it asked me to plug in camera component [I did] and then I did the software install and the images show up just fine on my laptop.

This is a generic USB camera, and should work. The great thing about this camera is that it has a great wide focal lens, so you would want to position the camera appropriately.

You might be able to use a USB - RS485 adaptor, depending on the software that controls the camera and what it expects to see as a RS485 port

This used to work on Windows 8, but I tried to use it today on Windows 8.1 and the device driver no longer loads correctly. I tried contacting the company to see if they are coming out with a new driver. http://www.gearmo.com/shop/fast-usb2-infrared-adapter/

If your camera uses a SD disk to capture and store images then this should work to allow you to transfer those images from your camera to a PC or printer with no problems. Works just that way for me with my Canon. Plus it's a nice low cost USB work around to bypass older hardware and software on your system that may have been installed originally to support SD disks that no longer works with the new SD disks. Hope this helps.

I didn't have to. The cable has a usb connection which I plugged to my laptop running windows 7. The laptop has a built-in driver for an internal camera, so it recognizes this camera as an external one.
