GSM module, PIC Microcontroller, Camera, Video call

[Pravin Gosavi]

Hi guys. This is my first post in this forum. Parden if I made a mistake. Here's my question-
I want to connect 3-4 cameras, gsm modul (3G whatever) to a pic controller at a far place like a farm house. So when I call (3G) on "that" number I can watch video on my mobile and can switch betn cameras.
I don't want expensive GSM with gps gprs and all that facilities. Just oneway communication is sufficient for me. And all this without any PC.
Also Mumbai's Electronics Market is nearest for me. Plz suggest parts which are available here. Thanks for any help.

Use a Raspberry Pi or a Beaglebone with a GSM module. It will be far easier to implement and will likely cost you less to develop

Thnk u so mch for ur valuable reply. I need to google for it as I knw very littl about it.

Hi tunedwolf. Can I make raspberry pi by myself like arduino. Bcoz my need is very less jst connect GSM module and camera. And transmit what camera sees when I call. I don't want to use display. So what do you say using ARM can I do it.

You could make a Raspberry Pi yourself, but it would cost you a LOT more than buying one - even assuming you could actually manage it.

You could certainly do it with a suitable ARM processor, as that's what the Pi uses - but you would then have to write the entire OS yourself, as well as the actual code to do what you require.

Ok. Thanks. I will not try to do that.
