I want to add an FPV cam to my fixed wing. I don’t need a long rangeor OSD, just the possibility to show the live feed in QGC and I want to store the video feed on disc in my laptop.
As for hardware, I think I need:
a cam
a vtx
a vrx
a video capture device to convert from analog to digital signal to be able to feed it to QGC
I see that there are digital VTX/VTR combos from DJI, Walksnail and HDzero. Can I connect those digital VRXs directly onto my laptop without needing a video capture device?
Can you guys recommend a decent combo (either digital or analog) for a fair price? I’m not after the cheapest stuff, but I don’t need the most expensive either. All tips are welcome.
Any radiomodem with Ethernet and sufficient bandwidth will do. If it has serial adapter you can use it for telemetry too. Of course you will need an IP camera too.
@bigboy061293 - Thanks for the tip! That sounds exactly right. Do you maybe have a link to the website where you found that image? I’d be happy to buy exactly that. I found a similar thing here, although from what I can see the video quality could be better.
One more question; I see that they use a specific app to view the video on their android phone. Do you know how I could route that video on my computer from USB into QGroundControl?
@LupusTheCanine - So I can use an ip camera? If I search for ip-cams I find primarily security cams, which don’t really have a good form factor for building them into my plane. Do you have a specific example of what could work?
