Hi Neil, I have a "wildlife camera" and it's pretty much exactly what you describe. = It does video clips or stills, has an automatic IR filter and illumination,= time and date stamp, runs on C cells and writes to SD card. And it's in a = camo case :) Bob ________________________________________ From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu on behalf of Neil Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2018 4:12 PM To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. Subject: Re: [EE] What does it take to record video to SD? I don't have WiFi available and I want to DIY this as I want to get my feet wet with video. Here's more info on what I'm trying to do... I have a few warehouses with some of my cars and other stuff, and after a couple break-ins, I want to make a device that I can mount on the wall outside to record video once it detects motion. I won't have access to power, so it will have to be battery powered. This is why I don't want an O.S, because the boot time would miss critical video as soon as it detects motion. I don't want to go with canned solution as I want to tie various sensors to it, and some specific interfaces. I don't need HD video as it seems 600-line video is decent for security systems.
