Hey
I am trying to setup my first fpv system but I have no success yet. I am doing this for a school project and because of some restrictions I have to use this camera which is not actually a FPV camera. I tried a lot of things, wired up different cables etc. but still couldn't get a video. So here is my equipment:
SQ8 Camera:

I've cut sq8's cable and connected the little cables to transmitter in many different ways.
I've connected sq8 's tv out cable directly to my fpv monitor and even then I still couldn't get video.
The only way I can get image from the camera is connecting directly to my computer via usb cable
 
As this is, as you say not a typical FPV system, there are too many variables that come into play to give you a definitive answer.
-Are your transmitter and receiver powered correctly
-Are they both tuned to the same frequency and communicating with each other
-Is the signal output of the camera even using a protocol the transmitter is expecting to receive.

To simplify things, lets assume that all of your components are powered correctly. The only thing you need is the signal wire from your camera to the video in of your transmitter.

So my first question is: As you're trying various connections, is the image on your monitor solid black or blue, or is it just static snow?

It's static snow.
I powered up my transmitter and receiver from the same batteries which are totally 7.4 V( two 3.7 V batteries serially connected). Transmitter and receiver uses the same frequency.
As I know transmitter expects an analog video signal so I am using the video signal at the tv out(the yellow cable at the diagram).
Camera has sd card I think that's the reason usb has four cables in it
