homebrew TCP/IP digital Secured Video FPV,telemetry,control

Posted by archelle louie on November 3, 2013 at 8:30am
Testing out my New homebrew TCP/IP digital Secured Video,telemetry. same used by uav systems.

short test @ 500meters, flying in rainy weather.

Why Digital secured systems??
1. no Video interferences, no 3rd harmonics interferences. Compact Design. all in one solution. and the most important is. Secured Data. (encrypted)
2. hi bandwidth. can trnsmit both HD data video/audio, telemetry and radio control.
3. can power into 1 flight battery. (travel light)
4. GCS Module(weatherproof) all in one design. include diversity systems. and can both transmit and receive.

Enjoy.!

Transceiver Running @ 5.8ghz. with custom ant.

tx power 500mw.

Video @ d1 reso. 2-6mbits data streams.

latency @ 1-35ms

i use skywalker 1680.  and a uhf for my controls.

    hi. yeah.that kind of solution will work also. but on you ground station. you will experience some little problem.

    why? the  nsm5. have is a panel type. that covers at 40-60deg angle coverage. so its (narrow) if you fly out on that coverage you will loose video and signal. unless you will use a ant tracker. :) what im going to develop as you can see. i can fly forward or at the back of my gcs without touching or moving the gcs. :) then just a advice also. much better to use. MIMO dual polarize transmission and reciever. so that if the plane bank to any angle. it will stay your signal rigid. :) thank you so much on your suggestion.it will help us to discover more possibilities into secured transmission. :)

    regards. :)

    Hi all, my little opinion.
    a high definition camera on the plane and land a high definition receiver.
    camera can be any HD model. Connected to a wifi ip, example:
    on the plane or quad:

    This equipment is used by the Draganfly, and I can say that the quality is excellent.

    Now you just need to find a program to play the HD video.

    and I am testing the equipment I use this program

    More appreciation for your work!!

    Hope that you are able to share details of equipment at some point.

    Test Flight no 2. we test the link @ 1km away. it worked. we revise our gcs.we can now leave the gcs at field and we put 2.4ghz AP and stream all datas to wifi at 200m radius.so our control is 100meters away fron gcs ant and rx. :)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siyeL5gDj5o&feature=youtu.be

    hi tom. :) haha! nooo! that tower i posted. i just use that for our Main Ground control center. :) after the uas is airborne. :) i have a portable ground station for off site flying. :) ill post a picture later. :)

    But not everybody is their own ISP :) I cannot mount a tower like that on my car :-)

    yes. encryption i use is wpa2/aes. hidden ssid. and mac filter. to increase security. yup i use 5.8ghz bridging. ive got plenty of bandwidth. i can transmit and recieve @ max 32mbps link. i use 30mhz channel width because the is no interference. that most of the market use 40mhz and 20mhz channel width. :) im going to test this again. at 1km + link.hope i will get low latency. :) thanks much for appreciating my project. :)

    Hi. we just use Local TCP/ip Bridge. i discourage to use 3g  video over 3g signal. since the packet from uav will go many hops before it reach the GCS. thats why i see here in forums. they got very lag video feed. thats why i make my own local wireless bridge. i combine eagle tree osd with minimo osd. since i love eagletree because they have feet readings. home minimo osd have feet in hight settings too.  i love them. the camera i use its just a 700TVL wdr Analog camera. i converted it running in Custom Video Server. then to my AP bridge. transmitted to my Ground Station.

    Since its a Data encrypted transmittion. i can connect it same time to our Main Control Tower station @ 20Km Radius. after the unit is airborne. here is the sneek peak of our Main On Site mission control.  since im a Local wireless ISP provider here. im planning to use the tower to communicate and receive data transmission from my uav. :) 3692872658?profile=original   i will make a Build log later. :) since its time for me to off to work. :) thanks everyone for appreciating my Work. :)

    Very keen to learn more about this setup!

    Very cool. Would love to see the list of items to accomplish this data link
