Cam module configuration

Can anyone please tell me the terminals of this Cam module of where to connect to arduino uno. I'm a beginner so your suggestions are highly appreciated.

Also I need to view the live recording! So please let me know the source of information which I have to go through.

I don't think you're going to get much use out of any camera module with an arduino uno. The uno is for relatively slow & simple tasks; video streaming does not fit in that category.

Additionally I assume you scavenged that module from something like an old security camera or something; I couldn't find any information on it (and I can't read the type identification of the onboard chip) so your guess is as good as mine when it comes to questions such as what kind of data it puts out and on which pins.

Thank you for the response Koraks,
Yes, I've got it from an old security camera. I don't have any information pertaining to that. I've searched a lot but I'm unable to find any information on this camera module pins. So I discovered this forum. I thought some brainiacs could help me here.

Apply 12V where it says "12V" and 0V where it says "GND", then prod around for something that looks like composite video.
Then chuck it in the bin and get a Pixy or ESP32 and camera.

...and now I'm out.

If it's live, it isn't a recording...

Yeah, it's going to end with that anyway.
Even if you have a scope, a datasheet of the chip on that PCB, analyzing the thing and then mating it with an appropriate host is going to take days even for someone who knows what he's doing, and then it's still not going to be worth it since a basic camera module with known specifications costs $5 or so.

Thank you for the information!
Pardon, I meant to say I wanted to record it.
I'll give it a try as you said.

Thank you for your help sterretje : )
