using compact fieldpoint with a camera?

[Woolie Willie]

I am interested in attaching a camera to a fieldpoint to take single pictures. I want to trigger these from a microphone which has picked up a trigger decibel level and attached to analog input module. The plan is to log photos and possibly upload them to a central PC in a batch fashion. Is it possible? How many photo's could the compact flash hold (after the OS and Labview)?

Hello,

I do not see a way of connecting the camera to the FP controller other than using the serial port. More than likely, your camera does not have a serial interface. A better option for you would be our Compact Vision System.

If you already have a way of connecting the camera to your FP controller let me know. The number of photos that could be stored on the card will be determined by the resolution of the photos and the size of the card you have.
