There are always uncertainties in any tactical situation, no matter how good the information yes. With that in mind, teams usually need to equip themselves with tools for information gathering before they proceed to an objective. In close quarters, it is even worse since you don’t know what’s around the corner or who is behind that door. It can be the bad guys or it can be someone innocent.

There are tools for such eventuality, famous of which is the Corner Shot which is a dream of many airsoft players to own, but there is no version for airsoft. But if shooting is not always the option, then you may need to deploy a camera. On TV or in the movies we see SWAT teams using the snaking camera, which will need a hole to go through.  Now, there is a device that is used to peep inside a room by using the gap between the door and the floor.

The Tactical Electronics Under Door Camera System (UDC) is a wireless camera designed to provide video to operators showing what is behind the door. According to the company, the UDC has a light sensitive black and white camera, an IR LED illuminator, and 4 IR LEDs provide wireless vision. There is an optional telescoping deployment pole enables operators to quickly deploy and move the UDC to another position. The video captured is then saved on an SD Card.

Depending on the needs of the team, there are three different versions of the UDC:

• Under Door 360 – This has four cameras for forward, upward, left and right camera views and it has the ability to attach a 20 ft telescoping deployment pole.
• Under Door Pro - Two cameras give you forward and upward views and it has the ability to attach a 20 ft telescoping deployment pole.
• Under Door Camera – This is the original camera that only comes with a single camera for a forward view.

The UDC may not exactly be the device that an airsoft team would want to invest in. But in case the team is awash in cash and wants to do a lot of CQB games, then they can get one of these. Or hope someone in the Far East gets to read this and might make something similar and affordable for airsoft game purposes
