camera wires

The white may be a separate ground, or audio, also check your specs, the red is probably not 12v+, probably 3.3v+ or 5v+.
Thanks ringolong.
My camera unit attaches to a damaged quadcopter. It has its own micro sd card, no audio. I have had a bit of a think about these wires. Red and Black are power supply (3.7 Volts - battery of quadcopter). Now this is where I seek advice/crticism. My thinking is power white wire on - take photo. then power off white. repeat to take next photo. But I dont know time to power up so as camera can complete a write to SD card. Similarly for video record - power on to Yellow wire then turn off to stop recording.
What do you think?
thanks

Your thinking is logical, but I was thinking this was a FPV camera, and this is a fully functional on board camera for photography.
I would search for the manual from the manufacture, and if I could not find it, I would contact them by either calling them or emailing them.
Sorry I don't know much more about them.

Exactly as he said. Though you could test it (providing you know for sure that the red is supposed to be 3.7Vin) by shorting the white to ground, but it is best that you check your manual, or find one.
