SUPER CAMERA

 

Introduction

Getting idea from travel camera and fly cam, ‘’super camera’’ is innovated by modern solar energy. It will be a new solution for long distance travels without enough electricity or even a professional surveillance camera.

Filming and photography are familiar phrases for many people and has been attached to many professions. However, nowadays, filming is not just about people having to stand on the ground with troublesome tools, it's shooting with a fly cam. This is a big step in the film industry. The combination of flying tools and cameras is amazing creativity. Nevertheless, paying a great amount of money for fly cam is not necessary since we have ‘super camera’ which is designed to be able to assemble to create a lot of utilities.

 

 

Summary

In order to meet the human needs of shooting and recording all the high places, projects, thousands of hectares of industrial zones,... the fly cam was born.  The combination of super camera and fly cam is a creative way to multiply convenience when we can film or even protect the environment with the integration of solar cells. Solar energy is one of the optimal solutions that we can break the limitation of normal fly cam.

 

 

Claim

1st claim: Super camera is composed by two main parts: camera and flying instrument. Camera includes chip processer, lens, hard drive, magnet, bluethooth system, GPS navigation system and battery. Flying instrument consists of 4 propellers, wifi system, super-balanced 6-way GYRO chip, battery and solar panel.

2nd claim: The camera lens consists of many components of lens. Each component has the effect of adjusting the beam in a certain direction to produce a precise image on the sensor surface, thereby determining the resulting light and image width. The lens has a focusing system that adjusts the reflected image on the film for clarity.

3rdclaim: The camera needs to have hard drive SSD to save the obtained data during the operation, the Bluetooth system to transfer video from the camera to our phone and laptop.

4thclaim: Using the battery of the camera and the battery of the flying instrument separately to avoid decreasing the flight time. Those batteries need to use the dry capacitor for charging electricity and avoiding explosion.

5thclaim: Solar panel

The solar panel part has the approximate area is 0.1m2.   Depending on different location in the world, we have different panel generation factor. However, in calculation we can calculate the average is 4kWh/m2/day.

 

 

6thclaim: Chip processor uses a kind of chip that allows pre and post full-Hd recording, recording day and night with a 140-degree angle of view.

 

 

Economic effect

It attracts consumers by environmentally friendly and the improvement of restrictions of other products. Those are the ability to transform into a fly cam and the stickiness in many terrains. Super camera will be a green product which penetrates deeply into life, from becoming an entertaining that attracts art enthusiasts to serving the work of organization, business and individual users or even carrying out specific military tasks. Usability, high mobility, effective operation and practicality are the salient features of the product

 

 

Technical effect:

Separated and assembled technic between the camera and the flying part

Finding the way back to your location as a boomerang due to GPS system

Directly connecting the image with other devices when being operated due to Bluetooth system

Sharing the power with other devices such as phone, laptop, etc

 

 

Problem with technology

The solar panel depends on the weather condition. For different place that has the different panel generation factor (collection efficiency x solar radiation).

The weight super camera should be light. However, if we add solar panel into both camera and flying instrument, the weight of the super camera will be higher.
