Question Common CCD SECURITY cameras and USB adaptor?

Hi Guys, just an idea as I am new to astrophotography.
At the moment, all the webcams around are CMOS based, even the more expensive Logitechs, Microsoft etc.

I know about the TOUCAM but they're not available in W.A.

I was thinking along the lines of using one of Jaycar Electronics higher quality security cameras and a VIDEO to USB 2.0 convertor box?

Is this a possibility for any good planetary imaging?
Or, is it a waste of effort and money?

Cheers
Rob.
