See your Bullet holes at 600+ without spending $800+

Thanks for the reply. In doing some more research this morning, it appears my problem was my Transmitter. I had a 600mw transmitter... I just found a 2000mW fixed wing fan and heatsink cooled transmitter... Going to give that a try. I already have a nice 12v LiPo4 battery pack from the first go around thats nice compact size and lasts forever... Will give that a try to start. I soldered in standard 12v 2.5mm coxial power plug so I just plug that right into this littel LiPo4 power pack. Works great.

I think the only thing Im missing is the zoom lenses you guys are using.. 12 or 16mm I think? Do you have a link to it??

I got 3 of these Fixed wing 2000mW fan and heatsink cooled transmitters coming.. Make 3 little boxes for different target ranges if the 1st test one works out.
 
Sure I posted the link to the zoom in this threadl otherwise i;d have to search thru my amazon history. you try first!
 
I got both 10000 and 2000 on the way... I just found a 800mW in my parts bin I must of bought and never tried. Gonna play with that now till the other parts arrive. I also got some 1800 and 2000tvl cameras coming to test. Just gotta find this lense. Let me search amazon

it was faster for me to look thru this thread for your answer than to search my amazon. the link is sold out but it is a 16mm zoom.
 
Here is my skydroid 5.8g receiver plugged into my cell phone..

Using a 800mW 5.8g 40ch transmitter hooked to the Foxeer camera.

This is 12" away and the quality is poor... thats turing the lens to get it clear as possible..

I have a 1800 TVL and 2000 TVL camera coming both with 2.1mm lens....hopefully they have much better quality
 
that is probably because your camera is analogue and you are hooking it ip to a hd digital viewer
 
I do have a 7" TFT LCD Color Monitor here I bought to hook a camera too to watch the brass/bullets in my 2nd Dillon 1050. Let me wire it up to that real quick...
 
if cam or viewer has tv lines tvl then it is analogue. if it says 'P' ie 720p then it is hd digital. 2 diff systems. if you have an hd cam then it might work on an analogue viewer but an analogue cam wont work well on a hd viewer. thats they way i understand it.
If ya want to do what I did, which works, then get what I showed you. If you want to buy other stuff and experiment then I cant help as I dont know enough. All i care about is id'ing small bullet holes.
 
The transmitter you linked is Sold Out unfortunately. US Version 36CH is in stock vs the 48CH... Ill play around with it. Thanks,
 
Here's my current setup using a TuringAI Edge+ 5MP VF Motorized Bullet camera on a tripod with a 30' Cat6 cable to a Pelican 1120 case. Target below is 22LR holes and the camera is about 20-25' away with the motor zoomed all the way in. You can still utilize digital zoom if you wanted to see anything closer.

Warning, this setup uses an Inseego MiFi X Pro 5G cellular modem connected via T-Mobile 5G. The MiFiX Pro, 6600mAH battery and the 12v to 48V POE converter is all all in the little Pelican that I set way off to the side and back behind another burm so it cannot be shot. I then place the camera on a 12" tripod about 20' back and 10' off to the left of the target...

Im waiting for a new junction box mount to come for this new camera so I can simply attach it to any tripod via arca or 1/4-20 without rigging it up... QD on and off

I then can simply open the Turing app on my phone and see the camera live or on a laptop or tablet.

For those that dont have cell service at their range, I have another setup utilizing PtP technology but the setup is bigger as it requires more hardware and bigger batteries.

whats the total cost in that black box?

12v 6000mAh battery $33.49

Talentcell Rechargeable 6000mAh Lithium ion Battery Pack for LED Strip and CCTV Camera,12V DC Portable Li-ion Batteries with AC/DC 12.6V 1A Charger, Black https://a.co/d/8sjcpLJ

Inseego MiFi X Pro 5G
Free with a new line of service. Unlimited 5G High Speed Internet line is $50/month. Can take it anywhere and connect laptops, phones, tablets and pulls down 600Mbps

Tycon 12v to 48V POE - $42.95
Tycon Systems TP-DCDC-1248 48V POE Out 24W DC to DC Converter and POE Inserter https://a.co/d/9TUQIgh

Now the camera is $279... its just what I sell lots of so I have them on the shelf but you could use all different types of POE CCTV cameras. Like a $100 fixed 12mm 5MP

So $77 in the box out of pocket cost + $50/month TMobile SIM.

Include the camera and your around $350. Use a fixed lens HD POE cctv camera and you could do it for under $200 easy

Just a quick search using this camera and your around $225. And that's an 8MP 4K camera so almost double the picture quality of the camera I'm using

Can you share the set up w/o cell service needed?

So the setup would be exactly the same at the camera side but would remove the MiFi X Pro 5G and add a UBNT NanoStation 5 AC Loco to the box mounted on the outside with line of sight back to the firing line and a 12v to 24v POE converter to power the Nanostation....I then use a larger LiPo battery than the 6000mAH like the car jumper pack batteries run for 6-8hr... something like a 26800mAH battery pack..

Then at the firing line, you need the same setup at the target mentioned above minus the camera....then you could plug a Lan cable into a laptop and see live.... OR what I do is add a cheaper WiFi AP to the setup at the firing line then you can just open the camera app on your phone or tablet with your phone connected to the WiFi network you setup in the AP...

Works like this..

Camera is powered by the 12v -48V poe injector, sends HD POE IP video to the NanoStation via the 12v-24V injector and wireless beams it back to the firing line where the receiving 2nd NanoStation grabs it... you can then either use an etherner cable in a laptop to see the camera on your laptop software or shoot that signal into the air via a wifi AP and use the same app on your phone or tablet to see the video.. these NanoStations have line of sight distance capabilities to 5km+

Beauty with this setup is you can have multiple cameras down range at multiple targets and beam them all back to the single receiving NanoStation at the firing line and see all the cameras in your app.... love using nanostations because you can do point to Point or point to multi point....
