Amazon list deployed!

February 21, 2025

Folks, STS needs your help. We've conceptualized our first rapid-deployment devices. We've added what we believe are appropriate USB cameras, an OrangePi 5Plus, which is a tiny Linux computer, the appropriate cooling housing for the computer, and a battery pack for testing. Additionally, a USB LTE modem for connection to the internet.

We chose these items carefully, but need to build a prototype with them before ordering the parts in mass. So to start, we've put one of each on the Amazon list. 

Once we get these parts acquired, it's build time. Will schedule the live stream when appropriate.

It's calculated to get 3.5 hours of run time on this unit, which is plenty for ad-hoc and severe weather deployment. We'll tackle the long-duration battery life units later on.

We appreciate your support. This is pretty cool: Crowdfunded projects.
