I wish to build a surveillance car interfaced with a computer
So I need a wireless camera that can directly connect to my notebook, a usb interface board to which i can attach the transmitter and receiver of a r/c car.

I think a rc car can easily be arranged but arranging a usb interface board and a wireless camera seems difficult. Can somebody help?

I must specify that I dont know much about electronics and it is out of sheer curiosity and interest am i making this thing

Also I am looking for a good robotics kit for beginners

Till now i have two options
a) using a java enabled phone (in my case motorola v3) as a webcam and interfacing the car using a usb board

b) using a avr card and connecting it with a wireless camera

Any inputs are welcome

forget the camera

Can anybody help me out with interfacing car with the notebook??
I think some USB interface board is required

Where can I buy it??

I would prefer buying it physically in ncr region but the online option is not eliminated

I have finally managed to make the car interfaced using one of my old laptop with a parallel port but am looking forward to a movable camera mount(up/down).

I have bought a wireless a/v camera and need a usb interface for it

Thanks in advance
