B4R Question Seeking Advice on Arduino Camera Module & Library

[rwblinn]

Hi,

one of my next B4R Maker Projects is an Arduino with Camera, sending pictures and stream to an Android Device and additional to a Raspberry Pi (Android Things, B4A) and PC (B4J).

Befor starting, seeking advice which Arduino Camera module - preferably I2C - and B4R,B4A,B4J libraries to use.

Appreciated.

BTW: thanks for the suggestions here

I don't think that Arduino is a good choice for video streaming. It is not powerful enough.
You can use a RPi with a camera instead or an Android device.

Streaming the video frames is easy with the MJPEG server code.

OK - thanks for providing clear direction.

I already have a Pi Camera (never used so far), so will give a try using the MJPEG server code.

Again thanks for help.

You can also take video recordings by RPi + USB Webcam, using FFMpeg (need installation on the RPI, google for it), but this is not for realtime sending to other devices.
I use it to record the front view of my car while driving.
