[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 778539, member: 63138"] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]I had an old Sony digital cam that output baseband NTSC video (old style TV signals) on a yellow RCA style jack. I made a couple matching helical antennas wound on PVC pipe per my antenna handbook, stuck in an S-band xmitter and receiver along with a 27 inch Samsung monitor at the firing line and now I have a target cam. Link analysis shows that it should be good to a couple of miles but I’ve only run it out to 600 yards so far. When the snow gets gone I’ll be going longer. It is fun to squeeze off a shot and leisurely look over to watch for the bullet hole to appear not to mention knowing where you are hitting.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]An important feature of the target cam is the 20X optical zoom so the camera can be positioned a safe distance away from the target otherwise you’d be needing some steel plate which I don’t really want to carry around.[/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=2][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
