Best quality micro cams?
Posted by dan green on Sunday, October 14, 2007 11:32 PM

Hi, can anyone advise what are the best quality micro cams currently available? Something for a large G scale indoor track, with tunnels. Something color, with a good refresh rate, signal strength, and sound.

regards,

Dan

Try http://www.choochoocam.com/ , hope the link is correct. If not do a search for choochoocam. This is a photo of our club layout which uses a choochoo cam with track power and wireless transmitter, with track power it can be stationary or be attached to one of the trains for additional visitor entertainment. We use a LCD monitor to display the feed from the cam.

Probably should have cropped and enlarged photo prior to posting.

Great, this is a promising lead. It sounds like theres a Lionel model also. I'll look into these.

Thanks!

I like the look of your club,

Dan

Another vendor that I saw at the national convention is RailCam.  Try them @

www.railcam.net

Plane Talk is the airborne video system I have but don't know if they are still in business or not.

Check out http://www.rangevideo.com/index.php/index

They cater to the R/C group. I have used their product on R/C aircraft, R/C model tanks, and R/C cars, all with good results.  Small enough that it would fit into most forward looking G-scale diesel cabs and thus look quite scale.  I first saw the product installed inside a R/C scale model of a Bonanza and the pilot flew the plane from the portable TV he brought to the field.  It has pretty good sound and color video.

Jack
