Best Mcu for live video recording

[Emircan]

Hey guys I am currently looking for an mcu to get started developing a live stream camera board which should be in 7x80 mm dimensions what mcu should I get ? I think 5x5 footprint should be ok but not sure 6x6 also be ok. I am open any advice also new to hardware design so thanks for all the supports

:)

You've posted in Wireless MCUs, so presumably you want something wireless - but what protocol(s) ?

Also, what video specs ?

Hello @Emircan and welcome to the ST community,

You need to describe the scenario of what you are trying to do so we can help efficiently.

Hello,
I’m building a compact smart-glasses prototype. I need either:

• live video streaming (low FPS is OK), or

• taking photos for a few seconds and sending them over Wi-Fi.

My main constraint is size: the electronics must fit inside the glasses temple.
Target dimensions: height < 7.5 mm, and I’m trying to keep the PCB as small as possible.

Most Wi-Fi MCUs with DVP camera interface I found are 7×7 mm packages, which makes the design difficult.
Do you have any recommendations for:

• smaller Wi-Fi MCU/module that can interface with a camera (DVP or SPI), or

• a compact camera module solution suitable for tight mechanical constraints?

I’m also considering a two-board approach: one board near the ear side (MCU + Wi-Fi + power), and a small second board near the lens side (camera), then i could connect them somehow

Any guidance or parts suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Best regards,
Emircan

ST doesn't have any wireless MCUs with WiFi.

ST's only WiFi device is the ST67W coprocessor series.

You could use that with an STM32, or a 3rd-party MCU.
