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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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