Setting up a Network Camera using W5300

Using the camera interface DCMI of STM32, we will obtain camera images, send images to the network, and write a program that can receive images from PC host programs and process them.

W5300 allows TCP transmission of more than 60 Mbps, meaning that we will be able to transmit 10 640x480x2 Byte RAW (RGB565) images per second. The reason for using RAW Data is to ensure that there is no loss in image processing as much as possible.

Let’s create a network camera that will send 10 frames per second of RAW image with resolution 640×480 and do simple video processing.

Testing a network camera based on W5300 that is able to transmit 10 frames per second (6Mbyte/s – 640x480x2x10), each frame is a 640×480 image
