RTL-SDR Multipurpose Dipole Antenna Kit
Designed for temporary outside usage only, not for permanent outdoor mounting.
- One dipole antenna base with 60cm RG174 cable and SMA Male connector. This is the dipole base where the telescopic antennas connect to. The short run of RG174 is decoupled from the base elements with a ferrite choke. This helps to prevent the feed line from interfering with the dipole radiation pattern. On the inside there is a 100 kOhm resistor to help bleed off any static. The dipole has a 1/4 inch female screw on the bottom, which allows you to use standard camera mount products for mounting.
- One 3 meter RG174 coax cable extension. This coax cable extension allows you to mount the antennas in a place that gets better reception. E.g. outside on a window, or higher up.
- Two 23cm to 1 m telescopic antennas. The telescopic dipoles are detachable from the dipole base via a M5 thread which allows for greater portability and the ability to swap them out. These long telescopic antennas cover VHF to UHF.
- Two 5cm to 13cm telescopic antennas. These smaller antennas cover UHF to 1090 MHz ADS-B, and even still work decently up to L-band 1.5 GHz frequencies.
- One flexible tripod mount with 1/4" male screw. This piece allows you to mount the dipole on a variety of different locations. E.g. a pole, tree branch, desk, door, window sill. The legs of the tripod are bendy and rubberized so can wrap securely around many objects.
- One suction cup mount with 1/4" male screw. With this mount you can mount the dipole on the outside of a window, on a wall, car roof/window, or on any other smooth surface. To use first clean the surface with window cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

Handheld Wide-angle Infrared 1080P PIR MD29 Camera freeze frames
Good-loocking camera with satisfactory recording quality.
Recorded for 3 hours, took 3.3 Gb memory in microsd.
I conducted this camera test on the duration of the work in motion detection mode. It worked for a day (24 hours and half an hour) and took 10.6 Gb memory
Next test showed three days of work and camera wrote about 24 Gb.
Sometimes the Reset hole does not help to restore the camera to working condition and helps format the card in the camera.
