Wireless Video Camera Kit
broadcast directly to your TV and VCR!
NEW In Original Box
List price $79.00
Our price delivered $47.00

Available in Blue, Purple and Green.
These are closeouts, get them while they last!

Complete kit includes:

Video Camera (requires 9 volt alkaline battery)
with fold out antenna and screw type tripod mount
Wireless receiver and 110 v. plug in power supply
Wiring to connect to your TV or VCR's audio and video-in RCA jacks
Complete instructions.

Cool little video camera. I used one to make a video at the daycare of interviews with the kids. The quality is about the same as a webcam (no resolution is listed on the box), but the wireless 2.4 GHz connection makes it really a neat thing for the hobbiest. It has a built in microphone for sound. I chased the cats around the house with it and found 50 feet is the MAXIMUM range, and you must use a new alkaline battery for best reception.

Many possibilities for the hobbiest to make into a working monitoring system or baby monitor. I haven't taken one fully apart yet, but the camera circuitry looks like it is about 1-1/2" square and maybe the same depth, most of the body is empty, it could be put in a very small project box and placed anywhere!

Put it in a waterproof box and watch your driveway!
Connect it to your computer (my old Mac 6300 and many Mac A/V models have built-in analog A/V ports) and use it for a 24 hour recording surveliance system!
Take the circuitry out, mount it into your model train engine and photograph a trip around your layout!

Yes, it has been done- check out this page.

These are advertised as a mine train set, but the car is actually a one yard 'skip' not a mine car.

See the book 'Log Trains of Southern Idaho' by Jim Wetherell for more information.
