Need starting point - Video (+audio?) recording in a loop

Projects General Guidance
1

I would like to record video and audio in a loop using the Arduino and would like any suggestions to help me with a starting point. To object is to record in a loop, say 1 minute. Is this possible? Can I use the SD module as the recording medium?

Thanks for any suggestions to get started.

An Arduino does not have enough capability (speed or SRAM) to deal with video or even still images.

Perhaps a RaspberryPi would be suitable.

Thanks for the reply.

Do you think I can use the Arduino to control another platform that would be able to handle the recording? Sorry, I'm shooting in the dark here. Maybe not asking the right question.

Yes, you could use the Arduino to control a servo that presses the "record" key on a recorder.

How can I answer that when you have given no details of the other platform or how it might interface with an Arduino.

Have no clue...I've only completed my first project using a tx and rx...that's why I posted searching for possibilities if anyone has any experience with this...for example, thinking this morning of hacking into my quadcopter camera and using the arduino to control camera/sd recording functions...it operates at 3.7v...has three lines, v, gnd and data I assume...the thought just occurred to me...I just don't know at the moment how to interface with it to record in a loop instead of discrete individual recordings ala on/off, ie one recording file written over and over over a specific time period. I might pull if off the quad and play with it a bit and see what happens...

Thanks for the reply though.

There is ZERO possibility of an Arduino being able to process data from a video camera. Don't waste your time.

Thanks for the heads up.

One frame an hour might be possible :slight_smile:
