off roading cameras

[dmx512 0]

Hi

I have been given a cctv project to sort out....my client runs off roading events and would like to place cameras in and on the outside of each vehicle (possibly three cameras per vehicle and there could be up to 6 vehicles on the course} then the camera images to be live streamed back to touch screen monitors in the que of waiting drivers to view the different camera views...any ideas of the best way to do this will be helpful

I would look at NASCAR info, microwave transmission technology.

 

This is line of sight, NASCAR uses a helicopter as relay, you would need to know ranges you were going to have to deal with, off-road is not like a circular track, lol, in most cases, and can have many line of sight obstacles.

 

WiFi doesn't like moving antenna signals

 

RF is a possibility, TV channels, 2 to 135.

 

You could have a 2 or 4 channel RF modulator in each vehicle, using 2 to 4 cameras.

Each modulator/vehicle would be assigned 2 RF channels for up to 4 cameras.

 

So each vehicle would be broadcasting camera signals on TV channels, power of that broadcast can be adjust for range to some extent, but there are legal limits.

There is a 134 channel range so interference is not an issue.

However the channels 2 to 12, VHF, carry the farthest as the lowest frequency
