[quote]QUOTE: A magnet and a few switches more complicated than a closed circuit TV system? When did that happen? <br />[/quote] <br />I am somewhat of an old fart so I chuckled too. I do know that it all happened long enough ago for there to be lots of cheap cheap deals on old stuff. <br /> <br />One swap meet deal got me a bunch of surveillance cameras; 3 low lux BW lens on PCB cams, 1 1/4 lux and IR sensitive BW lens on PCB cam and 2 high res BW PCB with lens adapter for 16mm movie camera lens ..$25 the lot. <br /> <br />Another deal was 2 full size Panasonic camcorders for $20. good video on both but only one records. <br /> <br />I also have a Minolta and a couple of Sony handycams. Good cam No corder. <br /> <br />BW or Monochrome monitors are free for the taking. I already had a few. My total cost for 11 camera setup including Radio shack switch boxes is still below $100 CANADIAN! <br /> <br />
