Help!! Arduino camera (as video)

Question

Hi everybody!! I am working on my graduation project, and I want need to record a light coming from an optical cable with Arduino, i'm don't know much about arduino.

Could somebody help??
I noticed that with Arduino Uno you can use the camera for pictures. Is it possible to record??

Help please.

I agree too with Clem. Anyway yes camera sensors are a little more sensitive than the human eye so they can see a piece of IR spectrum, (you can verify it with your phone and the tv remote, just point the camera to the ir led and press a button, you will see a white light, with a laser probably you will burn the camera as Brian wrote). If it is only for demonstration purpose you can use an IR led instead of a laser. Also camera sensors aren't all equal, probably with some type of camera you can see a piece of ir spectrum and with other no. I have never tried to acquire picture with arduino but yes you can do it (take a look here How to use OV7670 Camera Module with Arduino? ), but don't expect high resolution or fast acquiring images. Honestly I can't understand what do you want to obtain with this project, what is the final goal?

Yes it is possible. You can record with camera but for that you must have Arduino compatible camera . Interface camera with arduino and record whatever you want.
