Bluetooth video camera with 640x480 res?

[Jan Willem]

Hi all, I am looking for a wifi or bluetooth based camera capable of sending at least 640x480 25f/s video data. There are a number of webcam style cameras on the market capable of 320X240. Preferably I would like Quicktime compression. It dosn't bother me much whether it is mini DV, hardisk based, static cf as long as its got the bluetooth or wifi and reasonable resolution. Firmware coul also be an important factor in the future.

Can anyone help me, 'cos I'm sure it exists!

I can't seem to find a wireless camera that does what you ask for. All of them seem to use 802.11b which can't get that kind of resolution and frame rate. This D-Link model (802.11b) gets 640x480 but only a max of 20fps:

Fortunately, there is a way. Buy an ethernet camera (this ones specs say nothing about frame rate):

and a wireless network bridge.

Bluetooth is too slow for video. Get a wifi camera instead.
