Icam using camera in model airplane
« on: September 21, 2012, 04:23:00 PM »
I wish to use my iPad to view the video from a model airplane mounted webcam type camera having a composite video output.
What do I need to do this?
I have a 900MHz Tx/Rx setup which ends up with a composite video signal and an RCA socket.
I would like to keep the ground-based hardware simple, and to operate on a battery supply.
Any help would be appreciated.

You might be able to use a video capture card (installed on a computer and connected to the camera receiver) to feed the video into icamsource. But you'd also need the computer to have an Internet connection in order to deliver the video to iCam. You'd be better off just watching the video on a laptop that the camera is directly connected to...no FPS limitation, no quality loss, no hesitation, etc. And if you stick to watching it on your laptop, any video capture card should work. If you want it to work with iCam, I think you'll have to do some research to find a capture card that will work. I know a few people on here have tried...and at least one or 2 have been successful getting ONE camera to work with a capture card.
