BeastCAM — camera

The airborne glass of the FPV chain.

BeastCAM S is a digital IP FPV camera in a 19×19 mm form factor — small enough for FPV airframes, digital from the sensor, and built as the first link of a video chain that ends 35–45 ms later on the station display.

Made in Germany

Lens

Digital IP from the sensor — the first link of the 35–45 ms glass-to-glass chain.

Scale

Same scale: the 19×19 mm body against a microSD card, 15×11 mm.

Low-latency FPV

35–45ms

Glass to glass — camera sensor to station display

Digital IP FPV streaming across the BeastUAS ecosystem at 35–45 ms glass to glass — latency on par with the big, established FPV players, from a chain a program can procure from one German manufacturer and audit end to end. Not to be confused with the control link: stick-to-airframe latency is 2–10 ms and is a separate figure on a separate link.

01 — Glass in the air

BeastCAM S

Digital IP FPV camera in a 19×19 mm form factor — small enough for FPV airframes, digital from the sensor.

02 — Link

BeastLink HD

CE-compliant high-speed datalink carrying the video stream — AES-256 encrypted, developed in-house.

03 — Glass on the ground

BeastTX

Hardware-decoded on the station and drawn on the 1275 cd/m² display — no software decode in the path.

One operating layer

Controlled from the same mission view.

BeastCAM is a citizen of the platform, not a bolt-on: the camera is controlled from the same BeastOS mission view as flight and payload — live video and telemetry in one screen, on one operating layer that runs across BeastTX, BeastFCS, BeastLink and BeastCAM.

Like the rest of BeastOS it is offline-first: the video path is hardware-decoded end to end on the station and needs no network, no cloud and no license server.

In the air

Digital from the sensor. Hardware-decoded on the ground.

BeastCAM S rides the airframe as the first link of the chain: 19×19 mm, digital IP from the sensor, carried by BeastLink HD and drawn on the BeastTX display 35–45 ms later — no software decode in the path.

One chain, one German manufacturer — auditable end to end.
