Kopis Mobile Launches New Website
Monday, May 19th, 2014Warrior Expo – Kopis Mobile
Tuesday, April 29th, 2014Our friends at Kopis Mobile showed us the latest version of their NTtv which allows users to share imagery from networked cameras.
Network Tactical Television is a portable, scalable and low cost video sharing system that combines Commercially available, Off The Shelf (COTS) digital camera and palmtop, mobile computing, or smart phone equipment with Kopis Mobile’s integration solution to provide users with a unique view of the operational mission. They do this by creating their own WiFi mesh network or connecting to tactical 4G LTE networks or tactical wave relay radios.
Although Kopis can adapt the NTtv technology to most any camera and handheld devices, they’ve created a turnkey solution which you see above. This is great for those organizations who haven’t fielded anything yet and are starting a new capability. It includes cameras, smart phones, video encoder, and battery as well as the pouches to integrate the solution unto armor or other load carrying platforms.
Kopis Mobile Demos at SHOT Show
Monday, January 13th, 2014Kopis Mobile will be conducting demos of NTtv, DetectSmart (turns any metal detector into a smart detector like their existing TacEx) as well as a through-scope video sharing system that sends video streams to smartphones and tablets.
Demos will be held at SHOT Show in the ADS booth Tues and Wed at 0930, 1100 and 1500.
Kopis Mobile Updated NTtv Data Sheet
Friday, January 10th, 2014
Kopis Mobile has updated the data sheet for their Networked Tactical Television (NTtv) system. Click the above image to view the entire document.
Here’s the standard description of the system:
Operators noticed that many action cameras (e.g. GoPro or Contour) were being carried downrange, and the rapid adoption of smartphones meant that video screens were available as well. The NTtv system links these two sets of COTS products – or any standard camera and smart device – to allow squad members to easily share video among themselves. With a small, inexpensive, rugged camera and convenient smartphone on hand, the addition of a lightweight NTtv box ties all of the squad together via an industry standard RTSP stream. A specialized NTtv app lets squad members easily flip through the ‘channels’. The minimal system footprint enables multiple uses of the same kit, so that a squad can migrate the camera from dismounted, to mobile, to fixed site surveillance while keeping every member abreast of the overall situational awareness.
Kopis Mobile – Networked Tactical Television
Tuesday, October 15th, 2013I first saw the Networked Tactical Television (NTtv) system from Kopis Mobile at the ADS Warrior Expo East in July and it blew me away. NTtv is a completely COTS systems that turns your smart phone into a controller for the action cameras so many troops are mounting on their helmets and equipment. It is completely agonistic to the type of video camera or smart phone operating system (e.g. Blackberry, iOS, Android). Not only is it adaptable, it’s also scalable. The NTtv boxes set up their own WiFi mesh network or can connect to tactical 4G LTE networks and tactical wave relay radios. Kopis Mobile can put together a system to your specs and integrate their technology into gear you already have on hand. It’s amazing.

Warrior West – Kopis Mobile
Thursday, April 25th, 2013There are lots of metal detectors but none of them do TacEx does. In addition to a metal detector it also contains a magnetometer to help find emitters such as bugs. But the real exciting part is the data collection component which reports data to a small communications decide via Bluetooth. Kopis Mobile sees the TacEx really shining for site exploitation, village stability operations and entry control points. Naturally, the TacEx can also be used for route clearance.
It collects data via Android or iOS creating an event log which offers real time position location data, live streaming video and stills. It can also be used to probe bags and shipments. Additionally, the TacEx facilitates standoff sensing of individuals and items on interest. It’s also fully ambidextrous and runs for 4-6 hours on 6 x CR123A batteries.
Additionally, tracking software allows you to determine how and where the TacEx is being used which allows maintenance tracking.
