There are also devices on eBay which record to a usb device and handle HDCP. Works great for archiving content from streaming services using a Roku. Not quite as cheap as this though, I think I paid $40 from a US seller.

The output of a raspberry pi is quite nice. I wonder if it's better than VNC over wi-fi.

wouldt you rather use buildin h264_omx encoder to stream instead of vnc?

The reviews on Aliexpress are quite good, picked one up. Thanks for sharing!

No HDMI pass though makes it difficult to imagine how this would be used for streaming a Playstation while watching on a TV. Am I missing something?

usb 2.0, 14Mbit mjpeg, not exactly broadcast quality. Almost makes you say not to argue due to $11 price point, except there are some USB 3.0 dongles promising "1080P 60fps Recording" starting at $16.

If it’s on AliExpress it wouldn’t surprise me if those were exactly the same devices but with 1080P in the description.

Different case, 30 vs 60 fps, actual USB 3.0 plug and is also shipping from South Korea.

A lot of devices on Aliexpress advertise false specs. I'm batting about 50/50 for web cams. Half of the ones I got had 640x480 resolution, despite advertising 720p, 1080p, or even 4k....

The other half are awesome.

Two even look identical, but one is 640x480, and horribly bad resolution at that, while the other is around 3k (real) resolution.

Thats China for you. This is why IMO shipping from S.Korea is a good signal for legitimacy of the offered product.

Also ordered one of these. Will review it on my blog once I receive it.

Just bought one for $14. Hope it’s good for streaming.
