Camera choice
Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2020 4:12 pm
Just getting back into ATV and so much has changed.
Initially I will be building a simple, portable unit for 5.6GHz using the FPV/drone modules.
Thinking about the camera, would a car dash cam be any good?
They are quite cheap and support HDMI connection. They also have the ability to view jpegs from the memory card, so I thought this could hold one or two test cards with station info. Some specify a frame rate of 25 or 30 fps, is this good enough, or are there better ones available?
Or would I be better off using one of the many cameras designed for the drones?
thanks
