OSCS420 Night Cam Review

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

With FPV flying gaining popularity, new cameras suitable for flying are popping up all over. Many of these cameras have their roots in security applications, like so much of the equipment used for FPV. With a simple partial plastic case, the OSCS420 camera appears to have come from a security camera dome. Although its not fully enclosed, the case is a nice compromise between a bare board camera and a full metal case, making mounting a little easier than just a bare board camera. The OSCS420 camera is simple with fixed features, the only adjustment you’ll be making to this camera is the focus of the lens.
