#110149 - web cameras

Some web cameras have a built in mpeg compression engine...

To me, "web camera" means a camera with a built-in webserver.
So, although they'd do the JPEG for you, you'd still have to get a TCP/IP stack to talk to them!
This is do-able on an 8-bitter, but non-trivial.

Many things sold as "web cameras" these days don't fit the above definition - instead, they just have a USB connection for a PC to provide the webserver bit.
In this case, you'd have to implement a USB Host on the 8051 - this might be do-able but, again, non-trivial.

you are probably going to wish you had choosen a 16 bit processor...

Thinking about it I would seriously recommend that you dont even attempt this with an 8 bit processor.

Yes - Definitely sounds like an ARM would be a better choice!
