I came across this camera and I'm curious about its original purpose and whether I can connect it to my PC. It looks like it might fit into an EU power outlet, and since it has a lens, I'm inclined to think it's a camera. Does anyone know its possible uses? I'm hoping to figure out if I could use it as a webcam or something similar.

This looks like an integrated camera used in modern cars for various functions like parking assistance. Do you see any model numbers on it that might help identify it?
It seems like a backup camera typically found in vehicles. If you can find any identifying numbers, that could help you learn more about it.
That plug definitely looks like it's from a car. My guess is it's for a backup camera. If it is USB-based, you might get it to work by swapping out the plug for a USB A connector. Good luck with that!
Thanks for the USB tip! I shared more details and some numbers I found in another thread to see if anyone can help identify it.
Unfortunately, there's nothing on the camera itself—but there's "ITTB 1" on the plug and some numbers on the packaging that might not even be related. I’ll have to check them out.
