Remote Control Car: Wireless Camera Setup

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I would like to attach a camera to a remote controlled car, and be able to drive from the video feed (wireless).

 

I remember buying a wireless security camera more than ten years ago, which could be powered by a 9V battery. The range wasn't fantastic, but it was good enough for this application. Both the receiver and camera came in under $100, too.

 

It seems like a lot of security camera equipment is moving to being computer based. I'd prefer to avoid using wifi / IP networking at the camera.

 

I might want to purchase multiple receivers, so that if the camera moves out of transmission range of one receiver, I could look at another video source. (The point of this is to avoid having an extremely strong transmitter). I'm looking to drive around on half an acre of property.

 

I'd also consider using a wired camera, and having separate transmission equipment. Is transmitting on UHF / VHF a cost effective possibility?

 

Does anybody here have suggestions, either on the setup or on what to purchase? Would I be better off looking on Ebay for something like this?
