Armitage Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I've been tinkering with various ways to create a camera that would broadcast whatever it perceived to anyone within range who had HRRP tuned to the proper frequency. I've mentioned it here before. Clairsentience to look through the camera would only work for a single specific receiver, unless you bought it with about +30 worth of Usable By Others. Simple HRRP, Transmit Only might work, but lacks a certain elegance. Today, inspiration struck: Remote Camera: Radio Group Images 1" radius, 1 Continuing Fuel Charge lasting 1 Hour (+0), MegaScale (1" = 10 km; +1/2) (7 Active Points); Set Effect (Things seen and heard; -1), OAF (Camera; -1), No Range (-1/2), Limited Effect HRRP (-1/4) 7 Active Points, 2 Real Points. Using this construct, anyone within 5km who has HRRP could perceive the audio and video feed from the camera. Also, since smaller distinct images can be created within the area covered by Images, this could work for tracking devices too; filling the area with the radio equivalent of thousands of little arrows, all pointing at the transmitter. Or, more realistically, a perceivable change in signal density leading to the transmitter. Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust Raven Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Re: Video Broadcast I've done cameras like you describe as a simply Transmit Adder for Normal Sight, with the Limitation Affected As Radio Group (-1/4). It's cheap, and it does exactly what is needed and nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Re: Video Broadcast Your build looks good.. I would add on "Affected By Sight and Hearing Groups" as you can cover the lense, overload the mic, etc... or otherwise render it inoperable by means other than blocking HRRP.

Since the camera can only transmit what it sees, if you Flash it, it can't transmit anything since it can't see anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Re: Video Broadcast Oh der... you're using Images. For some reason I thought it was using HRRP with Transmit.. nm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
