I'm disappointed at the slow progress of consumer security cameras. They show a tiny CMOS cube camera from ~2000. Today I can't find anything that small or that cheap online (didn't look too hard) and certainly not in the local bricks and mortar surveillance camera shop. Why aren't tiny cellphone-like cameras with integrated wifi or LAN everywhere? Why are non-hidden ones still outputting analog TV signal?
- MindTwister 9y agoPeople who fly FPV order these cameras all the time. This one is about $8 https://www.banggood.com/600TVL-8_0MP-14-2_8mm-CMOS-FPV-170-Degree-Wide-Anlge-Lens-Camera-PALNTSC-p-984345.html?rmmds=search https://www.banggood.com/600TVL-8_0MP-14-2_8mm-CMOS-FPV-170-... How about this one for $22 with a 5.8GHz transmitter https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-TX01S-NTSC-Mini-5_8G-40CH-25MW-VTX-600TVL-13-Cmos-FPV-Camera-p-1139788.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-TX01S-NTSC-Mini-5_8G-40CH-2...
- detaro 9y ago> Why are non-hidden ones still outputting analog TV signal? Those are available because a segment of the market still wants new cameras for their old systems. If you don't belong to that segment, various other options are available as well: SDI (digital-over-coax, good upgrade path from an analogue system), Ethernet, ...
- Robotbeat 9y agoBecause the electronics are very simple for analog video. Notice how easy it is for an Arduino to bit-bang an NTSC video output. And if you want low latency? Unless you look for expensive equipment, analog is way lower latency.
