I've heard that speed cameras in some European countries just have a DSLR in them, and whoever maintains them would have to go around collecting the memory cards once in a while. IMO the camera is fine, the bottle is a less elegant hack. On the flip side, how much does an F-35 cost again?
They're probably using the HDMI/analog video output of the camera, like some streamers do, and broadcasting that video, maybe using analog transmission on the clear. Or they could put in a Raspberry Pi-esque computer in there and have a WiFi antenna.
There are aftermarket reversing cameras that are wireless that I imagine could be repurposed for the transmission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fen3nwtllEU , although the quality would be lower that using a Canon DSLR doesn't make sense.
Yes, it can. I think the system is not nearly as sophisticated as whatever NATO uses for coordination of the military, but I assume it sort-of works, and judging by the cost of these you can allow yourself to lose a few of them.
Rostec Presents Ultra-High Strength Laptop For Extreme Conditions
The Ruselectronics holding company, a member of the Rostec State Corporation, demonstrated a production sample of the Russian-made protected laptop for use in extreme conditions at the Innoprom-2018 international industrial fair. The hardware core of the PC is based on the Russian-made Elbrus 1C+ microchip.
It probably has a cheap camera with transmitter so that operator can se where the drone is flying and a dslr to capture high quality photos for further intelligence gathering.
Some of the higher-end cameras have ethernet ports, Wifi and Bluetooth. Not sure what the remote capabilities are, but remote-controlled shutters should be fairly easy.
Yeah. But it requires an onboard computer with USB and WIFI which is not shown, and actually is kind of interesting. How does the computer link back to the operator? Is there bandwidth enough to send hires photos from the camera back?
This sub-thread was about speed cameras. I'd assume law enforcement agencies have some network they can hook the cameras up to.
As for the drone in the video, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Raspberry Pi with a 4G modem, or some other remote networking option connected to it, somewhere inside it (or something of a similar hacky nature).
