Is that possible to connect FPV camera to my arduino based rc car?

Hi. I have this camera: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004099940755.html
I would like to know if that possible to connect it to my rc car based on arduino to receive real-time video from it?

Maybe I need more things like receiver for this camera?
Or it is have more simple solution?

There are several inexpensive stand-alone FPV camera/transmitter and receiver packages available on line, especially for drones. Simply mount the camera on the vehicle and you are done.

Yea, but i would like to have "home made" setup,
like camera on rc model and screen on receiver.
So i would like to know if that is possible to use my camera like this.

Maybe you have links to any components that will help me to make it easier to setup it all on ESP32?

Thats a composite video camera is it not ?

Yes, it is.

What Arduio?

So what, exactly, do you want to do with this camera?

What role will the unnamed "Arduino" play?

ESP32.

It have 2 parts:

  1. receiver, mounted on rc model (i want to send video from it)
  2. transmitter, used to send any command (I want to receive video on it.)

If you want to send, then that's a transmitter, surely?

Perhaps a diagram would be clearer...

Keep in mind that an Arduino cannot handle video.

Now that depends on the Arduino, and the nature of the video, and what "handling" you want to do...

people have done webcams on ESP32...

Sure, as in ESP32CAM etc.

But that setup uses digital cameras such as OV2640 and the video viewer is normally a PC over WiFi.

OP want to use a composite video camera as the input.

Not sure what the TX\RX medium would be, they did not say.

Agreed. If you can find one that does what the OP wants, post a link to it. FPV on drones and the like is generally understood to be full speed, real time video.

Yes. Either entirely separate from the control RF, or maybe making a trip through the flight control computer for overlay of OSD on screen display of information.

Arduinos can use the MAX7456 video overlay chip to do that.

It's kinda obsolescent, but see

OSD with minimosd

Works very well. The minimOSD board is programmable with the Arduino IDE and a few easy enough tricks.

Please send link to such package
