You need dsPIC or any microcontroller with digital signal processing capabilities. For picture processing dsp feature is essential.
I know you need something like this.,am I correct.?

Hi 12purwanto,
I think the good way is to build small deflected mirrors(similar as galvanometric systems) to control the light to your camera & not to move the complete camera...
K.
 

thnks all...
but, is there any chance to get webcam rather than cmuCam?
so the image\video capture by webcam and directly transfer to pc via usb, the image is process by pc, if any movement detected from the image processing, pc send out intruction to servo controller to move the servo..
 

Hi,

Follow the link for AVRCAM also (but do not know any PIC application) anyway hope this is also help you to get some idea and they use Atmel AVR ATMega8 controoler.

I hope you may connect some ordinary web-cam with PIC after studying these things
