How to add memory to board camera

[m718]

hello,

I have a small 2x2cm board camera that I want to add video storage capability (about 10 seconds of video at VGA resolution). How much would this increase the size of the camera? and approximately how much would it cost.

Thank you.

That depends... Does this camera have a standardized memory interface? Or at least one that's documented or easily reversed engineered? If not, you may be S.O.L. If this has a USB or firewire interface, and you know some Linux, you may want to take a look at a Gumstix embedded computer (or a nano-ITX, or whatever). If it's got a USB interface that you can plug a USB stick into, you may want to get one of those really tiny SD/USB dealies.

I would suggest exploring the possibility of using a microSD card to add memory to your board camera. This would allow for easy storage and transfer of video data. The size increase would depend on the size of the microSD card, but it should not significantly impact the overall size of the camera. As for cost, microSD cards are relatively inexpensive and can range from a few dollars to around $20 depending on the storage capacity. Additionally, you may need to consider the cost of any necessary adapters or connectors. I recommend researching different microSD options and considering the specific requirements and limitations of your board camera before making a decision.
