This should be plugged into one of the USB 3.0 ports for quicker transfer of camera frames. For our project, we were constrained by other needs of the project and went with this camera.

This will take some of the processing load off the raspberry pi itself. Any USB camera would suffice but if you could get one with onboard h264 encoding. Ensure the SD card is a class 10 as these memory card supports sustained writing at 10Mb/s or better. It’s best to get the 4GB model as I faced running out of memory with lower ram models. Left to Right: Raspberry Pi 4 (Seed Studio), SanDisk Class 10 32GB SD Card (Amazon), Hrayzan USB Webcam (Amazon) To get started, here’s a list of the hardware you would need: I hope someone who has a similar use case to prototype will find this useful. In the end, after a lot of testing and tweaking, I came to a solution that worked and decided to create this tutorial for it. I thought of moving to a more robust system such as a NUC but the cost outweighed the added benefits so I dug a little deeper into understanding the Raspberry Pi better. While there are numerous articles and threads that offered partial or outdated answers, I couldn’t find what I needed and had spent numerous hours testing different methods. The project required, among other functionalities, the ability to record and display short, high quality videos using a Raspberry Pi. Rarely is there something someone out there hasn’t tried yet so I was surprised when I hit a roadblock recently while working on a project. In plain terms that means googling is a large part of my job and thanks to the online prototyping community, I almost always get answers.
