Is There A Better Wireless Camera For ARC?

Skip to comments   Jump to end

We have two issues with the existing camera that came in the kit.

  1. It drops the link and can't get it back for hours or days.
  2. Ever since the new SW builds, where we lost resolution control, it is inadequate to accomplish the tasks that we designed the bot to do.

We are now at the end of our time and we have nothing to demonstrate because it either does not work at all or it works but can't find the glyphs from the desired range.

All suggestions are welcome.

Thanks again

I've never experienced an issue - most likely radio interference in your area.

it might be that,one reason dont like buetooth to much,so far WIFI i never seen that problem are you going to add support for WIFI soon

Since day 1 the ON/OFF button never turned the unit OFF. It would turn ON but you would have to wait for the battery to die to turn OFF.

When camera reception drops out you either get colored horizontal lines or a black screen. We have learned to let the battery die and try again. Lately that does not always work.

We have shut down all of the BlueTooth and an all other WIFI. That does not make a difference. When I tell the laptop to add a BlueTooth device, it does not see any, once I shut mine down.

I even connect an antenna to the spectrum analyzer and scan for other emitters around 2.4 GHz. I don't think that is the issue.

I would just as soon get a new camera, if I were sure that it would work with our existing project.

mine gets horizonal lines and has a blank screen sometimes ,tried my other 2 bluetooth camera's still the same,i think it might be RFI problem on mine,seen it happen to other bluetooth just not as much camera you will see it a lot more,it depends highly on good signal for video data
