I am in search of a board camera to output live video.
The HackHD looks great and the price is awesome, but, while the recording is 1080p, it seems the output (non-recorded) video is only 480p and it is more geared towards recording.
Must Haves :
min. focal length = ~5"
manual and auto focus, or simply manual focus
as many manual settings available is preferred
Preferences:
I would really prefer at least a 720p direct output, 1080p of course being optimal.
Recording is not important
I’d prefer the board is output-ready, with a simple HDMI out even more preferred.
So I’m torn between HackHD and the SEN-11745 728x488 CMOS for $31.95.
Am I missing another product out there?
tl;dr : need small HD camera with no recording or consumer-like features (sepia setting or still images or whatnot) that can focus in on an object 5" aways and stay in focus using manual settings.
thanks in advance!
