connecting DE1 cyclone II board to ethernet port in PC

Question

Hi i am currently doing my final year project, which is remote video surveillance using FPGA de1 board. A camera will capture the video and transfer data to fpga, and from fpga it will send data to pc through ethernet port. The problem is , fpga de1 board does not have LAN port. So is it possible to use the RS-232 port, means using a converter RS-232 to ethernet for this project?

Thanks in advance for your reply.......:)

RS232 port maximum baurate is usually 115200 bps.

That means data throughput can't be above some 12.5k bytes per sec.

This is a rather low figure for streaming video, unless you accept a very low image quality and slow frame rate, even with strong data compression.

Thanks for the reply cris , is there any other way doing ethernet connection between DE1 board and pc?

If you're looking for ethernet, you might want to consider using a DE2 instead...

if i use the DE2 board, can you recommend me what type of camera to use for my video surveillance project.

I need some suggestion to start searching for the type of camera to use...
