Post by: kon on April 12, 2010, 07:46:31 PM

In project that I build now I am interesting to put a video camera on a remote controller car and transmit in FM to the receiver that connected to the computer
How I can do it ?
How I can connect the receiver to the computer ?
What commands I need to read the transmission ?
What is the band pass that I need to pass the video on the transmitter ?

I think after some possible but I am confused
One possible that I think is to  buy an IP camera and connect with the wireless LAN
I find this product in google
www.dlink.com/products/?pid=664 (http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=664)
 Can this product help me ?
Also I think about wireless spy camera and connect the video receiver to sample circuit and connect this to the computer
Also I think to buy video camera and video transmitter and connect the video camera to the transmitter and the receiver I connect to the sample circuit and this I connect to the computer
But my problems are that I don't know if there are good choices and I search after information that will explain how to do it

If you just wish to see on your computer the robot's view then a wireless Webcam is the easiest and cheapest way to go.

a wireless Webcam

Does such a thing exists?
I was thinking wireless CCTV and a digitizer on the PC, but if a webcam can be had wireless and with a suitable range it will nix the need for a digitizer.

The only really nice approach to a wireless cam is this:YouTube Link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsYfYwZDdHo#)
From what a quick glance has told me, apart from 10m range Bluetooth webcams, the rest is simply CCTVs with WiFi interface (which would be quite useable to the OP), or a digitizer is needed at the receiver end and with a few IP-cams sprinkled in here and there, so not what I would referr to as a webcam. I don't see any use for a long range webcam either, as they're mostly used for video chats and such. Seems like the word webcam is stretched a bit those days. I don't call my CCTVs for webcam, not even the IP-cams, as they're for something entirely different.
An IP-cam would be another solution, but they're not exactly cheap, even though prices has gone down.
