Hi,
Am doing project on a reconnaissance robot with live video streaming, related to my course. I have Arduino UNO & Mega 2560, on user console side and recon element side respectively.
But I don't have a clear idea about what should be done.
Am thinking to use cameras used by security systems for this, but how can we integrate it with Arduino?
Which all are the cheapest versions of LCD display available? I need to display it over a user console(remote). Am from India, so would be great if anyone know Indian sites, otherwise also, its fine.
Which library should be used for this? If you know any similar projects, please share.

Thanks, but how can the data be collected from camera using Arduino?
As AWOL has hinted, the Arduino has nothing to do with collecting data from a camera. You require a wireless video link to do that. For a short range, consider one of the "Wireless Video Sender"s that are sold to send video from one room of a house to another, though these often use directional antennae which could be somewhat inconvenient with a moving robot.
This is going to be heresy on an Arduino forum but have you looked at the Raspberry Pi, it now has a camera module and a processor that may be fast enough for video processing.
Below is the basics of a simple wireless router bot setup. The basic setup is a battery powered wireless router with an arduino/Ethernet shield attached, and an IP cam would be connected to the router for the video feed.

Does the Pi really do that? In your own experience

Yes in every program I have ever written on the Pi ( and that is quite a few ) it stalls or freezes every ten seconds or so for at least a second. That includes simply streaming the video onto SD card, so any video has jumps at least every eight seconds.
If you look with a scope at signals you will also see micro glitches where your program goes walkabout for 10mS quite regularly. You don't notice this but it screws up any multiplexing or timing of signals.
For the Pi community it is the Elephant in the room.

Thanks for the suggestion. Already have invested too much into that project. Can say this is the last part of it. I already have two arduino boards as mentioned earlier, that's why am sticking on to Arduino.
