It will be a webcam or any HD cam having 5-12 MP lens. I need to program it
in a way i can use it for video streaming, taking still shots for a time
period etc.,
This can be done with:
Hardware stack: Raspberry pi + HD webcam
Software stack: ffmpeg for streaming + uvccapture for stills
For basic uses, no programming is necessary - you can just cook up a shell
script to stream videos or to capture and upload images.
I have tried this with a Microsoft HD Cinema webcam. Interestingly
Microsoft makes wonderful hardware :) Almost all their hardware.
A warning though - the Raspberry pi will reach it's limit at 720p. If you
are looking at full HD capture and streaming with h.264, the pi has not got
the brute force to do a software encode. Actually it has got a hardware
h.264 engine which you can unlock by buying a license @ ~$2. Unfortunately
ffmpeg nor any other media app at the moment does not have a driver for
this.
