A video camera can serve as an extension of a person's vision. It enables the user to see things more clearly and vividly at a distance. However, the scope of coverage can be hampered when man is unable to handle this device manually. Therefore, the group proposes a control system designed to provide video camera movements using infrared transmission signals even at far distances. The integration of the proposed system will be in the form of a remote controlled device where the viewer can manipulate with ease and comfort. The whole system will entail a decoder/encoder circuit that will determine the corresponding movement of the video camera depending on the input signal. The transmitter and receiver circuits will be responsible for sending and feeding in the signal which the decoder/encoder will translate as command movements. To move the remote control video camera, two stepper motors will be positioned to create its vertical and horizontal movements. Sequential circuits will be employed to determine the right sequence for the steady and proper rotation of the stepper motors.
