brindlefly 0 Posted December 5, 2005 I've been tasked with finding out if a mobile camera/DVR system installed on a small twin-engine, fixed-wing aircraft flying at 2000 ft AGL can provide sufficient recorded resolution to differentiate automobiles. If so, I would gladly take any recommendations! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kandcorp 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Try: http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=3728&highlight=servision+com http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=3162 Try http://www.servision.net/ They manufacture some great mobile DVR's. Operate mostly with SIF and QSIF compressions. Adjustable bit rates to support the full range of network bandwidths (9 KBits/sec to 1 MBits/sec, 5-30 fps live) Supports GPRS, CDMA. Check them out very stable machines. Mace Security Products OEM's one of their DVR's and has had good luck with it. Made and Designed in Israel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeromephone 6 Posted December 6, 2005 another pilot ! I have done a little fooling around taking pics from the plane and I think you would have to bank around and try and get a snap shot otherwise all you will get is the tops of cars do you have a camera port on the plane? The problem will probably not be what type of recording device you use but how and where to mount cameras and how low you may have to go to get a good ID shooting around the wing also enters into it.

brindlefly 0 Posted December 6, 2005 The plane already has camera holes with nadir mounted digital cameras and a high resolution IR line scanner. These are the critical sensors in the aircraft. We are currently using cheap bullet type cameras to provide a forward looking view to aid in targeting for the line scanner and a downlooking one with time stamp, cross hair and GPS for cross referencing the IR data. The quality of video is of course poor and we are just looking to improve it. A small four camera input DVR seems preferrable to VHS recorders. I know better cameras will be an immediate improvement but I'm unsure of DVR recording resolutions. Seems there would be a best match between camera resolution and DVR recording capabilities. Not to make things too difficult but good low light response on the cameras would be a plus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
