Disclaimer

  1. The Radarcape is a device made for hobbyists and airplane spotters. We ensure best quality and best stability and continue testing this in a high number of devices that we are operating by ourselves. Sometimes things may happen that are out of our control or influence, for example Linux or 2nd level software instabilties, which we are not responsible for. You can be sure that we try to solve situations like those as soon as possible.
  2. As a device for above mentioned circle of users, if you intend to use the device for any commercial task, you are fully responsible for any consequences. The Radarcape does not have passed any of the air traffic certificates neither can we guarantee that the received data is 100% correct.
  3. As you are free to modify the Linux part, such modifications are always in your own full responsiblity. Also we do not guarantee that all Linux distributions are running stable in the Radarcape, instead we have seen some that don't. However we will provide tools to restore the SD card contents or ship replacment SD cards if something seriously becomes broken.
  4. We do not ensure that the Radarcape is fully secure against unforeseen access if running in a network environment, neither public internet nor even your local network. You should of course change the root password and remember it, and only then connect it to public internet if you really know about the consequences.
  5. We are a team of a few people only and we are no deep specialists into each field which is required for making such a product. Some things may be done better, smarter or differently. So we are always open for suggestions, but please don't expect that these will be realized immediately if even at all.
  6. As this is a small embedded device, when running heavy load with plenty of sharers or tools installed, the device may fail with lack of resources.
