Video Transmission Options:
o The video system chosen depends on the control system.
o If a RC controller is being used to control the robot:
 Video is sent back with a 900MHz transmitter. The receiver is mounted to the RC controller or in the Pelican case and the video is
transmitted to the 7” color LCD.
 Tested urban range 200+ yards (effective operation range for video and control with multiple building structures, wireless interference, etc.
Concrete and steel walls will reduce range further)
 Tested rural line of site range 1000+ feet
o If a WiFi System is chosen then video is sent back via the WiFi network.
 Either a WiFi camera can be used or a video server attached to the WiFi Bridge
 There is usually a slight latency with the video transmission
 Video transmission is secured through the WiFi WEP security
 Range is typical of any WiFi Network 300-600 feet. High Gain antennas and repeaters can be used to extend range
Camera Options: We offer multiple camera options:
o Standard pan and tilt under a camera dome. This is a standard color camera mounted
on a pan and tilt system under a small camera dome. The camera will be mounted near
the front of the robot on the top. The pan will be approximately 45 degrees in each
direction. The tilt will be approximately 5 degrees down and 40 degrees up.
o Heavy Duty Pan and Tilt System with Samsung SDZ-300 High Resolution, day and night
30X optical zoom camera under a camera dome. (pictured to the right) This option
includes a heavy duty pan and tilt system that allows the camera to pan 360 degrees and
the tilt will be approximately 5 degrees down and 40 degrees up. The high resolution
very low light color camera with 30x optical zoom camera will be mounted on the pan and
tilt. The user can control the pan/tilt/and zoom from the operator console.
o Camera tilt embedded in the nose of the HD2 with 36LED IR camera. This option
includes a heavy duty tilt system that holes the camera in the nose of the robot. The
system does not include a pan (but the robot pivots easily to look left and right). The
robots nose will have a channel cut out of it and re-welded to include embedded tilt
mechanism. The camera is a 36LED color camera. In daylight the image is a high
resolution color image. In darkness the image is black and white and the infrared lights
illuminate the area up to 30 meters away. This option has the advantage of keeping the
robot low profile and keeping the top clear for future equipment such as arms, etc.
o Camera tilt embedded in the nose of the HD2 with Samsung SDZ-300 High Resolution,
day and night 30X optical zoom camera. This the same option as above only it uses a
high resolution very low light color camera with 30x optical zoom camera mounted to the
tilt.
o IP camera mounted on a tilt bracket. This option can only be used with WiFi control
system. The IP camera is mounted on a tilt bracket that allows the camera to tilt up and
down (~-10 degrees to 30 degrees up).
Battery Charging Options:
• SuperDroid Robots use NiMH batteries. The batteries are lighter and hold more charge than lead acid batteries.
• NiHM batteries do not have memory issues like NiCad batteries.
• The NiMH Batteries require special charging considerations.
• We offer two different types of chargers.
Smart Charger Option:
o Multiple chargers mounted on one bracket. The chargers are for the 24V motor batteries,
12V video/control battery, and 12V control console battery.
o The chargers are fully automatic and will charge all the batteries simultaneously
o These chargers do not charge the larger batteries too fast. For the big 24V 10000Ahr
batteries, charging times can exceed 6 hours.
