Dave Olson posted:I've been testing the camera this week. The frame rate varies between 20-30 fps.
There's an APP to download on an Android or Apple device. Connects to the camera via WiFi. It's a direct connection from the camera to the device. No internet required. You can also download a PC program to run the camera as well as long as the PC has WiFi compatibility.
I've uploaded a test video of the camera. Excuse my shakey hand. Filmed the CSX F40PH as it was handy on my desk.
We're aiming to have a 3D printed sample of the Theater car at York next month and will likely be streaming the video feed to an iPad or other monitor.
Thanks!
The picture quality is very good. It would be nice to see a better framerate but that is much harder (and more costly) to achieve. Overall the camera looks pretty good, Nice Work!
I think it may be worth mentioning (and please correct me if I'm wrong) that because the camera does not integrate with the LCS wifi app, that users should be aware that using these to apps on the same device may not be advisable. Beings that the camera runs on an independent wifi network, users will need to disconnect from the LCS wifi (and lose control of their trains) to view the camera. Switching back to the LCS wifi will require user intervention beyond just relaunching the LCS app because they will need to disconnect from the camera wifi and reconnect to the LCS wifi to regain control of the layout.
Any plans to somehow bring the LCS and the camera together (at least on the same wifi network)?
