how to view the arduino camera via ethernet?

[TomZap35]

Hello,

SO i am thinking about getting a arduino or a arduino uno for the sole purpose of setting a mini home security system like I am going to put a camera and a Ethernet modules on it? like is it possible to just get it to record straight back to my home computer via Ethernet? or D-USB??? also what code would I need i only have very limited coding skills but I guess I could pick it up

You will need a lot of coding skills if you want to make an Ethernet-connected camera out of Arduino and its camera
- to start with, Arduino do not natively support Ethernet. The shields for it tend to be slow, and need a lot of code
- The camera interface itself is slow as well, and could overlap with pins used for Ethernet
- On top of that, you want to stream captured images over Ethernet. More code

There are $50 web-enabled cameras which can do everythink you need, and even more, faster and better. If you want to learn "coding", get something easier, or start with better micro (RPi is much better suited for that task)
