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
