AirVision NVR Updatesv 1.0.9
- memory/performance optimizations on stream capturing
- rtsp authentication handling improvements
- added exporting recordings to video files (MP4)

This NVR version will not have the ability to take advantage of on-camera motion detection, but we're working to get that added in an upcoming version soon. Once that's implemented, it will reduce the CPU load of the NVR quite a bit.

When is a Bullet a Jet ?
The 489 kph Bullet. |
OK Team ... Check out this Youtube video:
Bullet-powered Jet
- Mounted on the Dragster: BulletM5 with small 5 dBi whip antenna, Station Mode.
- Mounted somewhere else permanently: AM-5G19-120, with RocketM5, as AP
All video from on-board webcam came through the Bullet/Rocket link.
Look at the 'on-board' video from 2:28 onwards.
Plus: The video from 0:38 onwards was taken from trackside. If you look you can see a guy in a yellow jacket with a camera. That camera was connected to another RocketM5 (in Station mode). It has two small 5 dBi whip antennas. It communicated with the RocketM5/AM-5G19-120 AP.
Thanks to Matt at the Perth Motorplex for this story.
