The STV0680B chip from ST that is used in numerous cheapo webcams has an
RS232 interface, although not for tethered video. You may have to dismantle
a webcam and add a RS232 driver.

OTOH, if you need a serially-connected camera, look at the Wincam Live from
StarDot technologies - http://www.stardot-tech.com/wincam_live/
I've had one for ages, and did a port of support software to OS/2 - StarDot
was
very good about providing specs, protocol information etc.

Take a look at the CMUcam, it already outputs serial and may fit your needs.

I've not used this product, but it resembles some designed-in-house
camera boards I've used that worked rather nicely.
Later,

Does anyone make a USB host module? I couldn't find one the last time I
looked.

No. Because Micro-USB module and a webcamera are both USB devices, and
you would need a USB host.

Hi,
I recently saw a Micro-USB module on Dontronics's web site
(http://www.dontronics.com/micro-usb.html). Appearently it convert RS232 to
USB and vice versa.
Would it possible (how) to use this Micro-USB module con connect and an
off-the shelf USB webcam to a micro controller such as ATMega or PIC?
