Description

The RunCam Night Cam Prototype integrates a high-sensitivity 1/1.8″ image sensor engineered to capture clear, detailed footage in extremely low-light conditions. This makes it an ideal candidate for FPV drones engaged in nighttime surveillance, wildlife monitoring, or security patrols where ambient light is minimal. The camera’s optical system utilizes a wide-angle lens with a 133° diagonal field of view, providing comprehensive situational awareness for the pilot.

Output is delivered as 2.7K resolution MP4 video, with an adaptive frame rate ranging from 3 to 30 frames per second to optimize recording based on light levels and motion. The unit is designed for straightforward integration into UAV systems, requiring only a 5V DC power supply via a Molex 2P 1.25mm connector and communicating through a modern USB Type-C port for data transfer and potential configuration.

Key Features

  • High-sensitivity 1/1.8" sensor delivers exceptional low-light and nighttime imaging.
  • Adaptive 2.7K video recording (3-30fps) optimizes footage for varying light conditions.
  • Wide 133° D / 112° H / 60° V FOV lens maximizes situational awareness and coverage area.
  • Ruggedized, compact housing built for durability in demanding outdoor and aerial environments.
  • Standard 5V DC power input and low 400mA current draw simplify integration with drone power systems.
  • USB Type-C interface provides reliable data transfer and potential firmware update capability.
  • MP4 video format ensures broad compatibility with common playback and editing software.

Applications

  • Nighttime FPV drone builds for surveillance and security patrols.
  • Low-light wildlife observation and environmental monitoring UAVs.
  • Cinematic drone filming in dawn, dusk, or other low-ambient-light conditions.
  • Search and rescue (SAR) drone systems requiring nighttime operational capability.
  • Custom drone payloads for scientific or industrial inspection after dark.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power requirement for the RunCam Night Cam Prototype?

The camera requires a 5V DC power supply, delivered via a Molex 2P 1.25mm connector. It draws approximately 400mA under normal operation, making it compatible with standard 5V BEC outputs from most flight controllers or standalone voltage regulators.

What video output does this camera provide and how is it accessed?

The camera outputs 2.7K resolution MP4 video at a variable frame rate between 3 and 30 fps, which adjusts automatically based on conditions. Video data is transferred via the integrated USB Type-C port, which can be connected to a video capture device or potentially configured through companion software.

Is the RunCam Night Cam Prototype suitable for complete darkness?

While the camera features a high-sensitivity 32000 e-/Lux-sec sensor optimized for low-light conditions, it does not have built-in infrared LEDs as described in some Generic text. Its performance in complete darkness would depend on any available ambient light (starlight, moonlight). For pitch-black environments, an external IR illuminator would be required.

How do I mount this camera to my drone?

The product listing does not specify a standard mounting pattern. Integration would typically require designing or 3D printing a custom bracket that secures the compact camera body to your drone's frame, ensuring the lens has an unobstructed view. The rugged build is designed to withstand vibrations and minor impacts common in UAV flight.
