[Noisebridge-discuss] My video project needs a Raspberry Pi and/or low quality usb webcam

[Dean Mao]

FYI, the RPi has a camera module that attaches via ribbon cable to a port
that is specifically for the camera.  It will have lower latency than usb.
 The camera itself is smaller than any usb camera on the market because it
lacks an enclosure.  (you need to make one yourself)
