i hope i'm posting this post to the correct subforum. But since this one involves video, ethernet (networking), and propably a lot more i'm not 100% sure where to put it. Anyway... I got an Arduino setup as a webserver thanks to the ethernet shield. Now i'm trying to show the picture of a webcam i found a few days ago on this server. Is this even possible ? I think i can't add the webcam to my arduino directly since the UNO won't have enough ram etc to process this. But is it possible to hook up the webcam via usb to my pc or mac and then show the picture/video on my arduino webserver ?
I greatly appreciate any answer which can help me to get an idea how to manage this project.
Yikes, I'd think you need more memory/CPU speed than an Arduino would allow. Yes, there's a thread on here somewhere about coercing a OV7760 to operate on a Mega2560 but I'd think along the lines of a pcDuino for the engine.
zoomkat:
You can generate an arduino server web page that contains a video stream from another video server.
Yeah i probably will go with that. Control the servos via arduino to pan/tilt the camera. Plug in the Camera via usb to pc and stream the picture from pc to a video service. Show the stream on my arduino with an embbeded frame.
