Multiple camera interfaced with Arduino

Hi all, I am newbie in the world of Arduino. I know basic programming for microcontroller.

I need your guidance for a project.

I want to build a system in which 5 cameras will capture video at the same time and then store those videos on a single SD card. Is this possible ?If yes, then which board is suitable for this ? Also the camera module.

After storing the video files on a SD card I want to access them using smartphone.

Please help.

Thanks a lot.

Way too much processing power for the Arduino to handle.

Use cameras with built-in storage (SD card...).

Hey bro, just check this out. I was searching on the net if this idea is feasible or not and I found this.

I mean the thing is possible with raspberry pi but Arduino.

bro, where can I find the basic idea of camera module interface ?

please reply. thanks :slight_smile:

The "Camera Modules" menu on arducam.com seems to have all the details of the camera interfaces. Just buy a camera and start experimenting.

Just buy a camera that is on that list and start experimenting.

Buy some other camera, and plan to lose a lot of hair.

The basic idea of a camera module is a powerful processor and enough RAM for video stream handling. For a module with a SD card it should be possible to record one or both streams in real time.

But such modules don't help when a small controller should read their video data streams and write to another SD card - such an approach may lead to less than 1 frame per second throughput. Simply calculate the bytes per frame, and multiply by the number of frames per second, and the number of cameras, then compare against the achievable data rates of an Ardunio or a single SD card.
