3 Channel Remote Controlled Micro Air Vehicle with a Spycam

Suhas Divakar

Abstract


This paper presents a way to build a 3 channel remote controlled micro air vehicle carrying a spy camera having a range of about 100 feet. The micro air vehicle here has a 3 channel receiver onboard which is controlled by a 3 channel 27 Mhz fm transmitter. It can go up or down, back or forth and even move sideways depending on how it is controlled. It even houses a usb spy camera onboard, which is of the size of a pen cap. This particular 5mp spycam can record videos up to 4 hours. The entire arrangement is thoroughly camouflaged with white paper at the top and bottom, to ensure that it is un-noticeable while being used for surveillance applications.
