The camera is designed for urban warfare situations and can handle the impact “when thrown or launched from a significant distance.” Toss it through a window of a terrorist hideout and see what’s going on inside without exposing any personnel to the risk of physical injury. Macroswiss has an animated demo of the camera and other proprietary special warfare technologies in action on their website.
DESCRIPTION
The unit is roughly in the shape of a ball and is split into two halves. When deployed, the top half rotates with respect to the base.
The bottom of the unit is flat. The weight of the unit has been specifically distributed so that it will automatically right itself so that the flat base is on the ground, regardless of the starting position.
The upper part of the unit contains a camera and a motor. When turned on, the motor causes the upper part of the SRTC to rotate, allowing the camera to have a panoramic view of the surrounding area. A micro-transmitter then broadcasts the video signal up to 300m.
