OpenHD is an open-source digital FPV (first-person view) software suite for long-range, low-latency video transmission, telemetry, and RC control over modified Wi-Fi broadcast links. It runs on SBCs like Raspberry Pi and x86 hardware, pairing an air unit (camera/transmitter) with a ground station featuring a customizable OSD and the QOpenHD companion app.
Use cases
- transmit low-latency HD video from a drone over 50km using Wi-Fi broadcast mode
- build a DIY digital FPV ground station with on-screen display and MAVLink telemetry
- send RC control signals and two-way telemetry over a single radio channel
- stream thermal or dual camera feeds from a UAV to a ground station
- set up long-range video link for robotics or remote inspection
- monitor RSSI, packet loss, and bitrate in real time during FPV flights
When to choose
- you need long-range, low-latency digital video transmission for drones or robots
- you want a fully open-source FPV stack with customizable OSD and telemetry
- you have supported hardware like Raspberry Pi and compatible Wi-Fi adapters (e.g., RTL8812AU)
- you need MAVLink-compatible telemetry integrated with video
When to avoid
- you need plug-and-play consumer FPV without hardware research and setup
- your Wi-Fi adapters or SBC are not on the supported hardware list
- you require standard Wi-Fi networking rather than raw broadcast mode
- you need guaranteed regulatory-compliant radio operation without checking local laws
