FlyCam System Overview

The FlyCam is a closed loop, stabilized tracking camera system. The camera system is driven by a motor/pulley combination. The drive motor and video receiver are mounted at one end of the run. Video is installed at this end for ease of installment and operation. At the opposite end of the run is a guiding relay pulley. The camera is powered by Lithium Ion batteries. The data commands that control pan, tilt, and paint functions are sent to the camera via RF link.


Mounting the pulley and motor/receiver can take place on pop-up towers, truss (supported via guy wires) and/or existing site structures.
