13. Applications and implications¶
What will it do?¶
We can use the portable life stream case for covering the accidents from all sides. The commanders will have full view on the accidents to run and give the right orders. The video will be taking from the accidents will also help in investigations after the accidents. It helps the trainees before going to the field and facing a real accident. Gives accurate and real time intelligence as to the progression of the fire spread.
Who’s done it beforehand?¶
There were phones that show livestream videos through apps but in my experience I never saw a livestream case being made and used.
What will you design?¶
I need to design a case that is portable in size and you can fit it in your vehicle and has support where you can hold it and carry it around. It also needs an arched stand that you can hook in the vehicle so you can film without the case moving in place.
What materials and components will be used?¶
Modem
12V 15000mAh li-ion battery
Rotatable Camera
Circuit board that battery checker (RGB LED lights, buzzer, cover for the LED made by 3D printer)
Aluminum 3 inch Tube
Tube foundation to hold the tube in the case.
Wires
Switch
Battery charger
Assembling parts (Screwdriver and nut)
Battery mold
Camera foundation
Acrylic pieces for covering the design inside of the case.
Where will they come from?¶
I will buy the components and materials online or locally. I will fabricate some materials by my own in the FabLab.
Tube, stopper motor, wood, electronic components, RGB Light: FabLab.
Camera, modem, battery: Online purchase.
How much will they cost?¶
Total amount 1653.62¶
What parts and systems will be made?¶
I will make most of the components in the lab
The portable case
Camera foundation
Tube holder
Board
Motor Driver
What processes will be used?¶
1-(3D printer) Tube foundation to hold the tube in the case.
2-(Electronic circuit)
Assembling parts (Screwdriver and nut)
3-(Molding) Battery mold
Camera foundation
4-(laser cutting) acrylic pieces for covering the design inside of the case.
What questions need to be answered?¶
Checking whether the signal from my portable case camera is working properly from my location to the operation room of the Civil Defence. I want to see if the camera can show both video and sound properly so the operation room can see the incident clearly.
How will it be evaluated?¶
First I carry the case to the place I want to film, then I switch it on. The camera will come out of the case and the modem will take 5-10 seconds to turn on the LTE in the SIM card and all systems will switch on. The camera will start live streaming and sending the video to the Dubai Civil Defence Operation Room where they can watch the video live.
