Camera Troubleshooting

Anyone know much about cameras? I have a micro PAL cam with only three pins which are red (+5v), black (ground) and white (video).

To test this camera I should be able to simply add 5v to it and wire the video out to the center pin of a component cable and plug it into a digitizer or TV right?

I am having a lot of trouble with this camera that I purchased and I am thinking it's bad. I did the above and all I get is a black screen or simply weird static that almost looks like an image.

Any ideas? Thank You

Connect it to a Composite-video input on your monitor or TV (the Yellow RCA-connector)

If you see static or no image, the camera is dead /PJ
