Hi there @Cesarcastella

As you mentioned, the PixyCam only works with still images, not video so you will have to go with either one of these options:

  1. Using the MakeBlock Me Shutter Module and a DSLR camera to shoot timelapse videos, like they do in this project

  2. Using a Raspberry Pi, a Makeblock adapter for the Rpi and a camera module like they do in this project

As your plan is transmitting video I think the second option would be better. You can even find a tutorial on how to stream live with the raspberry pi here.

And here are some projects you might be interested in:

Good luck with your project!
