Ill say thank you ahead of time for any help or guidance as well as newbie questions.
I am working on a remote control camera and spotlight project for home. Long story but basically i have built a 2 axis spotlight mount that is at the moment using basic rc type servos and controller. I would like this unit to sit outside and control from inside the house so not long range but through the house wall (wood and vinyl). I have a small joystick similar to a playstation controller stick that also has a button function. I would like to control the 2 servos over wifi and use the button function to turn the camera on and off with a relay. I am also very interested in adding in a small camera to transmit across the wifi to live view the positioning.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Does Your current rigg manage the wall?
First test that the WiFi can work over that range. If you use an esp32cam device the sample code allows you to view on a web browser. Other samples can be found to allow streaming and or recording. If everything is going to be mains powered then the relays ore ok, but if battery powered then a MOSFET based design would be better.
yes it does. It is a 2.4g basic rc remote and receiver. Not sure the total range but it works.
Currently have a 12v motorcycle style battery mounted to the unit giving a nice long battery life and i have a regulator dropping the power to 6v for the servos. Transmitter is just using a basic 4-aa battery pack
4 AA isn't enough. What board are you using, I would be thinking of 6 AA. With only 4 the voltage will drop below 5V in a few hours. If rechargeable that isn't even 5V, only 4.8. Try a wall wart and see if that changes anything.
The current system which was just a simple trial was using a basic rc car style remote and receiver. Proving out the mechanical design essentially. I am completely open to different battery solutions for the transmitter portion. I am simply looking for a more compact and dedicated controller and possibly add in the option of a camera to tell remotely where it is being pointed.
BTW, starter batteries are wrong for this application, you need a deep discharge battery. BEWARE lot's of batteries are hybrids, that's a NO NO, Lot's say they are deep discharge but then the words Cranking Amps or just CC or CCC or Marine Cranking amps ALL mean that is NOT a deep discharge battery. Before Lithium, the Trojan 6V golf battery was the gold standard in the solar industry. I would look for a LiFePO4 small Lithium if either 50AH or even 25AH. They will last 10 years, the lead acid 2 years.
I completely agree on the battery, the componants i did initial testing with were just using things i had laying around to test out the mechanical portion and now that im ready to finalize a solution, ill purchase a dedicated solution.
Hi, @brade935
At this time can you please post a copy of your circuit, a picture of a hand drawn circuit in jpg, png?
Hand drawn and photographed is perfectly acceptable.
Please include ALL hardware, power supplies, component names and pin labels.
It will make understanding your project easier and have everybody on the same page.
Interpreting a word description of your circuit could lead to many different interpretations of your project.
Thanks... Tom.... 
The only componants installed at this time are a:
GoBilda Element 6 controller and receiver
GoBilda BEC voltage regulator
2x Gobilda 5 turn torque servos
The turret mechanical design is finished and i had these parts laying around i used to simply test the motion. I am looking to create a "from scratch" solution. I do appreiate the help though
