After a few vandal attacks on my car in the works car park I would like to make a small self contained survailence camera. I cant use wireless as there is a wireless internet signal that will cause problems, and I dont want to use wired as it will be conspicuos and be too bulky
Ideally, I would like a spycam https://www.spytechs.com/spy_cameras/bccd_2000.htm, but instead of recording to a bulky Archos type of portable recorder, record to a memory card (or a usb flash drive).
It only needs to record for an hour at the most, so hopefully a PP3 will do it.
I know this isnt as simple as it might sound, especially interfacing RCA to be written onto the memory card.
The WITNESSCAM is a self-recording surveillance camera that’s perfect for the home or office. The innovative, ATmega32-based system features a VGA CMOS color camera, a passive-infrared (PIR) movement sensor, and a 1-GB SD card. The aesthetically pleasing prototype looks like an ordinary alarm detector, but when it detects movement, it silently starts recording. You can control the camera an infrared remote. The interactive camera responds with voice prompts, and the circuit can recognize when the box is open.
