The Video Capture Devices Multiple Video Camera’s Connections to Transmitter/Mobile Device The Transmitter/Receiver Transmit data from mobile device to server Capable of providing Bandwidth for multiple video feeds The Web-interface and server Simple display of the video feeds to the user Will be developed further given extra time
360 o degree view of a persons surroundings Wireless Transmission 100 meter radius transmission range IEEE n – Wireless n Enough Bandwidth for all video feeds 4-8 hrs of battery life
Small/Portability Light Weight Durability Inconspicuous
Wireless protocol limitations (Bandwidth, Range) Micro Computer processing limitations Durability Weight Wireless Transmission Methods Camera Resolution Power Consumption of Equipment
Bandwidth of transmission stream Wide-angle lens on the video cameras Compression of video Weight/Power – More power consumed, more weight Find energy efficient equipment to minimize power requirement Reduce the processing done by mobile device Mobility Minimize wiring Minimize weight
Total Expected Cost: $32,500 - $38,000 Hours: hrs/person ($ /person * 5) Hardware Cost: $2400 $1500: Cameras $600-$800: Computer and Transmitters < $100 Miscellaneous/Mounting Software Cost: $100 Use of open source software $100: Possible use of embedded windows device
