Droid FPV

Droid FPV is an application that turns one of your Android smartphones into an FPV IP Camera and another Android smartphone into a powerful video streaming server and remote android FPV Ground Station. The application is designed to work with 2 Android smartphones. One android smartphone will be used as a server (FPV Ground Station) for controlling the camera of the second Android smartphone that is the client (Droid FPV) connecting to the server (FPV Ground Station) and providing the following OSD information:

Sensor Heading

Artificial Horizon (Pitch and Roll)

GPS Bearing

GPS Altitude

GPS Speed

The Droid FPV (Client) connects to to the FPV Ground Station (Server) according to the Client/Server architecture. In this the Droid FPV, the client, can connect to the FPV Ground Station, the server, also over the INTERNET. In this case, only the FPV Ground Station requires a public IP or a reachable Host Name, while the Droid FPV, the client, does not require a neither a public IP nor a reachable Host Name!

The Droid FPV records videos locally so that the quality of the video can be the best possible according to the smartphone camera hardware. Droid FPV automatically detects the best settings and camera configuration for recording the best possible quality video.

Since it is the Client (Droid FPV) connecting to the server (FPV Ground Station) several different network architectures are possible:

LAN (Local Area Network): the simplest network architecture to work with Droid FPV 'N Controller. In this case both Droid FPV (Client) and FPV Ground Station (Server) will connect to a local router using local IP addresses. This configuration can be used for "monitoring" specific places of a house, office, etc...

INTERNET: this is the most complex network architecture where Droid FPV 'N Controller can operate. Since it is the Droid FPV (Client) connecting to the FPV Ground Station (Server), the Droid FPV (Client) does NOT require a public IP, but only the FPV Ground Station (Server) would require a public IP address or an Host Name registered with a DNS. The application has been designed to work with DynDNS.
