Connecting camera to arduino micro/nano/mini? (Bluetooth transfer after?)

Projects General Guidance

Any help I could get by connecting a small camera to a arduino micro/nano/mini?

The end goal is to stream pictures/videos from arduino to android/computer through bluetooth.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Im not not trying to stream it live, just to snap a photo and then wireless thransfer it through bluetooth to a android device/smartphone.

The key is to keep it small and hidden so an arduino uno is too large for me

Essentially I would like to create something like this but bluetooth enabled.

Any guidance appreciated!

While it is possible to do that, you're really putting an elephant into a cardboard box. Keep looking for other commercial solutions.

I agree with MorganS. While it's possible to use a UART JPG camera with an Arduino and transfer the data over Bluetooth, such a system would be very slow and awkward to use.

If your smartphone has WiFi, you can use one of these $20 cameras to stream video. There are a lot of similar cameras available.

okay, I was thinking of using something like this:

but would it be possible to convert that to bluetooth arduino instead of wifi?

(They have something called Blend Micro which is a micro and bluetooth shield in one) http://redbearlab.com/blendmicro/ Do you think it would be possible to modify that exisiting embedded chip?

Possible? Perhaps.
Practical? No.

I don't understand the question. One normally doesn't modify chips.

If you really want to use Bluetooth, I suggested a possible way of doing so in my earlier reply.
