OVERVIEW
The
MMP-8 Mobile Camera system is the most cost-effective wireless mobile
audio/video system around. These simple units are equipped to send
audio and high resolution color video up to 300 feet line of sight. The
MMP-8 platform also has a passive suspension system and 6 wheel drive
that enables it to negotiate rough terrain without loosing traction.
A
high-resolution image or video can be useful for many professions
such as building inspectors, appraisers, contractors, cable and
telephone line installation, and security applications. We are
working on a long range version of this unit for serious professional
applications.
The
wireless video system on the MMP-8 platform offers great picture
quality and a great operating range for an FCC legal system on
the 2.4 GHz frequency. The wireless kits have 4 switch-able channels
that allows multiple cameras or multiple monitors to be used in
the same area or on the same frequency.
Law
enforcement and professional agencies can inquire about
options and custom system packages.

Pan/Tilt
camera mechanism
The
pan/tilt is actuated by hobby servos via chain drive. The servos
are controllable with the standard PWM signal from hobby radios
and many micro controllers such as the Basic Stamp. The pan/tilt
allows for a great range of view as well as the ability to glance
at the frontal extremes of the robot while you are driving.
One
of the unique features of these pan/tilt units is that the servo
leads are routed down through the center of the pan shaft of the
unit into the chassis of the robot platform. This keeps the wiring
clean and keeps the leads from limiting the range of motion of
the mechanism.
The
pan/tilt unit has 140 degrees of pan range and 70 degrees of tilt
range with wireless camera. Tilt range can
be increased with different cameras
