Hi,

I'm trying to build a micro camera that will be able to show video-on-demand while connecting to it from the phone / PC.

It's possible to build it using Arduino (and others boards) but it looks like an overkill for this task.
All I need is just camera module (preferably with good optics and characteristics) + ISP (to build images from camera module) + power supply + wifi transmitter.
The smallest thing I've found so far is ESP-32 Cam module but it still looks like an overkill (with SD card, bluetooth, pinouts) and, that's why, it's too big.

Do you know of any alternative solutions to build my model?

Thank you for your help.

Overkill? It's small and cheap. Not sure how much less you can get away with.
A commercial, off the shelf, wifi camera?

Thank you for your reply, @Nanren888.

I would love to have something like I've seen on Aliexpress: around 20 x 20mm if possible.

Perhaps rethink around FPV.

Thank you for your reply @Bluejets!
Do you have any model numbers in your head that might work for my case?

Literally thousands to pick from.
You could start looking on Ebay or Banggood etc......

I'm probably missing some points? I didn't manage to find any in 20x20mm dimensions. Am I looking for something wrong?

Hi @bertus,

This is something I would love to achieve not by buying the ready solution but assembling it myself. Do you think it's possible?
