How do I make an FPV style Camera with NRF24L01?

Hello, I have 2 NRF24L01 and 2 arduino nanos, I want to make a camera system where I can connect remotely with these materials and watch things at a distance, it can be like fpv, I don't know which camera module and screen I should buy right now, I will buy what you say, but I think I can get a tft screen as a screen.

No way.

So is it possible to make a wireless camera with nrf24l01?
If it's not possible, why not? And how do I make this wireless camera?

Nicla Vision is much more expensive than I expected, I wonder if there is a topic, article or video that explains how to transfer images to the tft screen with a camera module using nrf24l01 and arduino uno or nano I wirelessly?

Well if it were possible to use a Uno or Nano to receive and display video images on a TFT you would expect it to have been done by now.

Did you find any articles or videos describing how its done ?

It is technically possible to acquire a picture and send the frame buffer in batches over a radio as long as you develop a suitable protocol.

For example The receiver would ask for a picture, that would trigger a picture grab and the frame buffer in the camera would be ready for reading.

The camera answers with some data about the picture size and provides a small rectangle.

The receiver gets that rectangle and updates part of the screen and asks for the next rectangle until the full frame buffer has been received.

This will be slow of course - no way you get a good fps count from this and that’s probably why no one has done it seriously because it serves no purpose - but it’s technically possible and could be fun to write.

What picture size and frame rate do they get ?

Can you throw me a video or topic of someone doing this doing the project?
