In summary, the individual is seeking help in deciding which microcontroller to use for their project, which involves using a camera to record video or capture pictures and displaying the footage in real-time. The current challenge is finding a microcontroller that can support this function, with the options of using an Arduino Uno or 8051. Another individual responds, stating that a PIC16f77a chip would not be suitable for this task and suggests using a more powerful processor such as an ARM or a Raspberry Pi with built-in Wifi and a camera module.

Hello all of you, i need your help to give me a decision about my project. first, i will explain what my project can do. my project using the camera to record the video or capture the picture. i also want my project able to display from the camera in real-time. the problem is i don't know what type of microcontroller that can be supported it. in that file using the pic microcontroller. may i using the arduino uno??..or mybe 8051?.

reply from you all very appreciate.

You won't be able to do that with a PIC16f77a chip. That PIC is a 5MHz 8-bit device. The device in that document is simply instructing the camera to record when the PIR circuit detects movement. A user would later have to retrieve the video from a storage device.

You'll need something much more powerful like an ARM processor to transmit video. Raspberry Pi can do this. The new models even have built in Wifi and a camera module you can purchase.
