hi
i am constructing a home surveillance cam project.
it consists of a series of sensors(leds,loop sensers and sound detectors) which are interfaced 2 a microcontroller(havent decided).depending on which sensor is triggerd the microcontroller makes a stepper motor which has a camera mounted no it turn in the direction of the sensor.
now my problems with this projects are
1)which microcontroller is best suited for the task(inexpensive and easy to program )?
2)how do u interface a stepper motor?
3)what is the rating of the stepper motor that shud be used?
4)as i am intendin on using a webcam how do u make the webcam record only when any of the sensor is triggered(iam not that fluent in software side)
pls help and any refinements wud be gladly welcomed
thanx
