The test for WIFI Borescope Endoscope camera ( wifi wireless snake camera)




Home Endoscope,Wireless WIFI Borescope,Tube Extendible Snake Scope Inspection Camera support iPad/iPhone monitoring



I had tested the WIFI Borescope endoscope camera (wifi snake camera).

I will compare with  WIFI Borescope endoscope and FEBON230  small wifi AP.



The product is divided two parts.

1. camera side is CVBS output.

2. compression module is  Multimedia main module + interface board with USB wifi dongle

-------------------------------------------------------------

1. camera side is CVBS output

   How can we know it is CVBS output?

   1.1All of Borescope endoscope on website is 640X480 resolution.

        I CAN NOT see the 1280X720  

   1.2  It use the " video decoder TW9900 "

       It means the camera is CVBS output.




   1.3   So, It will face the issue  problem of  " CVBS transfer  Digital" as below


       Comb filter:
 
         TW9910 is a cheap video decoder, it can not YC separate!

          This color means Moiré

 
    The below image is from wifi borescope camera.


     

   If  add the 3D comb filter , the video will as below
     ( This is my product, FEBON 100 UVC grabber card+ FEOBON230 UVC wifi AP)



      De-interlace

       it is not  3D de-interlace! It just smooth it!

 

          If  add the 3D de-interlace , the video will as below
     ( This is my product, FEBON 100 UVC grabber card+ FEOBON230 UVC wifi AP)




    2. compression module is  Multimedia main module + interface board with USB wifi dongle


This solution divide three parts

2.1  Multimedia main board.
2.2  interface board
2.3 wifi usb dongle with antenna




2.1 Multimedia Main Board.


   many many pin account!!!

   The size is very large~~~   38mm x 38mm

 


Let compare with  FEBON230  UVC WIFI small AP card. 

The size is only  25mm x 35mm 





 2.2  interface board & 2.3 wifi usb dongle with antenna

   The purpose of the interface board will provide the power to main board and transfer the CVBS video  signal to interlace ITU.656

  This solution is hard to change to the mega pixel  resolution.

  This is NOT technical  issue...  The F/W  support is very very heavy...

  For example, which sensor  can use, which resolution can use , which color parameter can use

  The condition  is too much~~




FEBON 230 is PIFA ANTENNA. The PIFA is very very cheap and performance is  also good


 No extra  wifi usb dongle! 

The size is very small!!!  25mm x35 mm





Comparison Table



FEBON230 WIFI small AP WIFI Borescope Endoscope
Main board 1. SIZE: 25mm x 35mm
2. embedded the PIFA


1. size: 38mm x 38mm
2. need the extra USB WIFI dongle


Interface board Provide the Power Provide the power and transfer the CVBS video  signal to interlace ITU.656
CVBS camera 1. USE UVC USB Grabber card solution
2. Have 3D De-interlace /3D comb filter



1. ITU656 directly connect to main chip.
2. No 3D comb filter

MEGA PIXEL If camera module follow standard UVC driver, the connect between camera and FEBON230 wifi AP  is very easy.




Due to the firmware issue, It is hard to design

There is No mega pixel wifi Borescope endoscope

                   ~~DVB-T standard is 6MHZ

2. Frequency (khz): 45~1001 MHZ

                   ~~ it is about 159ch @ 6MHZ bandwidth.
                   ~~ you can choice what channel you want to modulate!

3.Code rate: 1/2, 2/3,3/4,5/6, 7/8
               
                  ~~the modulator data rate will bigger if the number is big.

4.constellation: QPSK, QAM16, QAM32.

                 ~~ modulator data rate :  QAM32>QAM16>QPSK

                 ~~the distance of  transmitted signal: QPSK> QAM16>QAM32

5.Guard interval : 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32

                 ~~ modulator date rate:  1/32>1/16>1/8>1/4


6. modulator output data rate & TS file input data rate

           ~~ modulator output data rate> TS file input data rate

USB WEBCAM to TV by DVB-T TX

 



USB webcam video  through PC is broadcast by  DVB-T Modulator generator transmission dongle









DVB-T tv station that video source is CVBS RCA

USB dongle 介面的 DVB-T 影像信號產生器 發射器 Modulator transmitter generator (TX)



這一支USB 介面的  DVB-T 影像產生器 發射器 或是稱呼 DVB-T 調變器
英文名字 叫做 DVB-T Modulator transmitter (transmission) generator (TX)




他可以將電腦的影像檔案,透過這隻 DVB-T 發射器,透過 DVB-T的頻道,
將影像廣播出去,然後由電視的數位電視接收盒 將影像播出,


我們在開車想要聽MP3的音樂,可以透過FM 發射器將聲音調變到FM 的某一個頻道,
然後由車子的FM 接收器,接收到MP3上面的音樂。

一樣的道理, usb dongle 介面的DVB-T發射器,可以將電腦上面的影像檔案,藉由數位電視的的頻道,將影像傳送至電視的數位電視接收盒,

我們在家裡看到的數位電視,就是由陽明山 將 20台電視節目 不管是高解析度的Hi-hd 還是D1的節目,將他們發射出去



 所以,現在只要買數位電視 都會內建數位電視接收器。用這個方式來傳送影像,有點類似
wifi  的widi ,  但他們的原理是完全不一樣的.


1. DVB-T TX Modulator generator transmitter (transmission) 這是用廣播的模式.

   他可以讓同時超過  100個人同時收看到影像。
但是WIDI 卻會卡到頻寬的問題,無法同時讓這麼多人收看.


2. WIFI WIDI  他是雙向的通訊,你可以邊傳影像邊上網路。

    但是 DVB-T  Modulator generator TX  他只能走單方面的廣播,無法互動



 3. 在其他條件一樣下, DVB-T Transmitter 他的效率會高於 WIFI widi

     以前物理學學過,光有 波動性 還有粒子性, 簡單的說,如果頻率越高的話,那麼粒子性質就會越高;頻率越低,那麼波動性質越高.

   粒子性質高的話,那麼穿透力比較差.


  WIFI 是走 2.4G/ 5G ; dvb-t  是走  45MHZ ~1000MHZ 頻率遠低於wifi, 

  因此穿透力高....


以下圖案是 demo 的示意圖

DVB-T Modulator transmitter generator (TX) / USB dongle of DVB-T dvb-t Modulator generator transmission

This experiment  will show that   PC video file can be broadcast by DVB-T  TV channel  through the DVB-T USB Modulator generator tramitter dongle.





I will use the DVB-T  channel to broadcast.

everyone can receive my video by DVB-T receiver. It is like the FM audio.

This method is totally difference to WIFI WIDI.

The reason are as below.

1. DVB-T TX Modulator generator transmitter  is broadcast.

  it is ok and possible for  even 100 people want to receive the video.

  But WIDI CAN NOT!

  WiDI will depend on the WIFI bandwidth and the bite rate....


2. WIFI WIDI is two way communication.  But DVB-T Modulator generator TX's advantage is only one way broadcast.


 3. with others being equal, the transmission distance and efficiency is higher than WIDI


The picture is the demo system block as below.
