None of my systems have serial ports.
This is the case for one of my computers, which does not have a serial socket on the
back,
but does have the pins on the mobo allowing attaching a cable. This is still common.
Luckily, my phone has a good camera. My DSLR is even better but I
didn't need it.
But these days I wouldn't have to use either method. I have a setup to record video
off of HDMI so I would simply reconfigure my HW.
