Video and Control Custom Features:

Below are two video and control packages. We also offer many other custom control choices. Video transmission and robot control is tricky and can be affected by several factors such as walls, electrical interference, landscape, other RF interference, etc. We offer many different methods for video transmission. The range (distance) you can achieve is greatly influenced by the above. Our standard package is a Pelican Case controller. If desired a handheld remote can be selected too.

Video Transmission:

• Video is sent back with a 900MHz transmitter. The receiver is mounted to the RC controller or in the Pelican case and the video is transmitted to the 7” color LCD.
• Tested urban range 200+ yards (effective operation range for video and control with multiple building structures, wireless interference, etc. Concrete and steel walls will reduce range further)
• Tested rural line of site range 1000+ feet

Smart Chargers:

• Multiple chargers mounted in single carrying case. The chargers are for the 24V motor batteries, 12V video/control battery, and 12V control console battery.
• The chargers are fully automatic and will charge all the batteries simultaneously.

Available Options:

Listed below are standard options, additions, and/or upgrades that are offered with the robot kit. Contact us if you desire further customization.

• Robot Microphone (for Audio from Robot to Remote). This add-on installs a microphone on the robot. The microphone is a high quality microphone that is meant for listening to large areas. The microphone will be mounted to the robot and the audio will be transmitted back with the video transmitter via the audio channel. The audio will be broadcast real time on the 7” Color LCD. Volume of the audio can be adjusted on the 7” monitor. The gain, etc of the microphone is set up on the microphone on the robot.
• PA System (for Audio from Remote to the Robot). This add-on allows the user to use a hand held radio to broadcast to the robot through a loud speaker PA system. Using this option along with the above microphone allows 2 way communication between the remote users and the robot.
• Lights. This add-on provides the user with an option to add remotely operated high intensity LED lights to illuminate the darkness.
