Hi all, I've been trying to get the concept of a video project idea down and would like some advice. I'd like to use PIC to monitor a user adjustable area of a B/W video camera that is used in a security system. I think what I need to do is define an area of the screen and use an A/D to digitize the area, then if movement occurs in that area it would then either sound an alarm or perhaps have the ability to "learn" your remote control keys for "record" and "stop". It could then start and stop your VCR for a user selectable duration. Anyone have ideas as a good PIC to use for such an application?? Or might be interested in a joint venture project??
