Storing videos from a camera directly in an SD

[bjancj]

Hello, I am working on a camera system that has to record a video and store it in some type of memory.
The main constraint here is space: it has to be very small, ideally less than 4x4x6cm, and lightweight. I found a camera that uses a USB 2.0, but I need a way to record its output.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I picked up one of those super cheap eBay cameras that records directly to a SD card. Seems to work okay. It has motion sensing and can be setup to record on power-up.

can you tell me the model so I can check it out myself?

Long story short, this thing has to fly, so it has to be very, very lightweight (max 100g) and it has to not consume much power. I will definitely look into dashcams and see what I can find.

What I think Jester is talking about is something like the "SQ11"  or what pops up when you search aliexpress for "minicamera":

There's a bunch of different models so make a thorough search through the listings.

The cube cameras are very lightweight - the one I got weights 9 grams. Also note that mine didn't record any audio.
