What's a fun thing to do with a radio-controlled car other than to race it? Well, one can make it into a spy camera. RC cars make good stealth vehicles. They can be used for surveillance or simply for fun.
Different models of mini-cameras can be installed in radio-controlled cars. Perhaps, this innovation will be seen in the race tracks in the future, where drivers will be able to get a first-hand view of the tracks as if they were inside their radio-controlled cars. But for now, radio-controlled cars with video capabilities can be used as toys.
There has been a toy that was released recently which caters to the inquisitive and adrenaline-packed attitudes of children who are into spy games. The "Spy Video Car" was released by the toy company Wild Planet at the San Francisco Toy Fair. It is currently priced at $50. It has a digital camera that is incorporated into the body of the car. The camera itself rotates in wide angles which can be controlled via a remote control. The cool thing about this toy is that it features an eyewear where the video from the camera can be viewed. This adds up to the illusion that one is really into a spy game. The video is empowered with infrared technology so that one can use it even at night.
The sunglasses are impact resistant and can store up to twenty digital images. The images can then be transferred to an ordinary computer through a USB cable. However, the images generated from the video car are somewhat low in resolution, 640 by 480 pixels at the most.
One can definitely innovate and attach an ordinary mini-digital camera into his radio-controlled car if he would want to experiment on something new. A wireless digital camera can be purchased from specialty stores and can be installed in most RC vehicles. This would entail some kind of expertise in terms of setting up the cameras and the viewing mechanism. The video cameras can usually be directed into personal computers and one can have the option of recording or capturing the video. Getting a video of the race track can be a good way of learning the tracks and getting ahead of the competition.
A video mechanism on an RC vehicle is a great innovation and a whole lot of fun too.
