The UAV Video Link Revolution

Wireless video technology is employed in a lot of technologies that have changed the way a lot of things are done. One of these is video surveillance which has been taken to a whole new level. Wireless video technology is now used in property surveillance systems as well as in UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). This is made possible through a UAV Video Link enabling the ground control crew to perform in-flight control the vehicles as well as conduct the surveillance mission.


UAVs are also commonly referred to as drones and they are used mostly by the police, army and intelligence. Private players are also finding use for drones and a developing example is that of amazon. Amazon asked the Federal Aviation Administration for exemption from the regulations restricting the use of drones for commercial purposes. An approval of such a request will see amazon delivering products using their fleet of drones. Facebook and Google also have drone programs that are at advanced stages and many more players are soon to follow suit.

UAV Video Link 
UAV Video Link equipment is now commonly available online from various providers. Most of this equipment makes use of world licence free frequencies such as 5.8GHz which work for transmitting devices. The same system can also be used for microdrones’ in-flight monitoring. It is important that as a UAV user, you follow the requirements of the law by ensuring that you are not in violation of any laws within your jurisdiction. This is true for any private or commercial use that you might envisage for such equipment.

Buying Considerations
There are number of factors that go into your choice of video link equipment but the basicsus8sally pertain to range, frequency and picture quality. You need to find equipment that can cater for the range that you wish your UAV to cover and the right quality of picture. Some drones are required to fly at night or in conditions of poor visibility while others may require High Definition pictures for a number of reasons. The equipment is basically a transmitter and a receiver which are available in various specifications. You also have to contend with weight, power and weight considerations among others that you can discuss with your supplier.

You can find a number of equipment suppliers online which you have to subject to strict vetting before choosing the one to go with.
