What is the easiest way to get composite video into ROS? I'm talking about the cheap surveillance camera type stuff. They sell USB adapters like this which I would like to use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002H3BSCM/ref=oss_product?ie=UTF8&redirect=true

As long as you have drivers that can convert the analog image into a digital version. Just write a simple node that uses the image transport capability of ROS and other ROS software can now access the image. It really isn't hard.
