[D I Y] 2 Camera Video Recorder

I was sitting with no work, and an idea flashed into my mind. I have few junk web cameras, microSD cards and an Arduino Micro. What i intend to do is to record a video from two cameras set in different directions at a very low fps (framerate), and use a good compression video codec for the purpose. I would like to store this recordings in a MicroSD card. I dont want to record any audio, the video should be generated as one file where video from 2 cameras should be clubbed to gether to form a video side by side.

I also want to access this storage or live video from my computer, through a wifi. Any help?

Video Specs:
Resolution: VGA
FPS: 1frame/10 sec
Nightvision LED
Storage: MicroSD
Connectivity: Wifi
Audio: NO
Compression Type: X264 or any.
Video Size: Split Files
Time Stamp on Video: Yes
 
Skip the Arduino idea, grab a Raspberry Pi and use that. You can use Linux, a program called mjpeg-streamer and a wireless dongle for the communications.

Well, i wanted to use my old Arduino Micro. Nevertheless, what advantage will Raspberry Pi give, i have never used it before.
 
The chances are your Arduino wouldn't have enough memory to efficiently write a driver to control the USB for one webcam let alone be able to perform all the functions you require. The Raspberry Pi is effectively a small all in one PC for around £25 which will run Linux, has plenty of accessible I/O, a network port, a HDMI socket, it can support full 1080p video, two USB ports, onboard camera port, SD card socket and much more.

Do a Google on it and have a read through - great for anything that doesn't requite too much processing power.
