Solid Mobile Phone: pc controlled rc car with camera

pc controlled rc car with camera
I wish to build a surveillance car interfaced with a computer
So I need a wireless camera that can directly connect to my notebook, a usb interface board to which i can attach the transmitter and receiver of a r/c car.

I think a rc car can easily be arranged but arranging a usb interface board and a wireless camera seems difficult. Can somebody help?

I must specify that I dont know much about electronics and it is out of sheer curiosity and interest am i making this thing

Also I am looking for a good robotics kit for beginners

If not the camera, can anybody tell me how to inteface the rc car with a notebook maybe using a usb interface board but where do i buy it.

I would prefer buying it physically in ncr region but online option is not eliminated

if you are using transmitter / receiver for wireless transmitter you need some rs232 interface with notebook also need some vb or embedded c programing to communicate between laptop and receiver.i am not sure but i think bluetooth can be better option..

You can use Wireless Dental Camera - AV or USB Connection. Inter-oral camera with a wireless transmitter can be a useful product for your purpose
It has a high 1.3MP camera for better resolution video with 2.4GHz wireless receiver that can be plugged into a computer via USB.
