On Board video with TMCC

if you have the 2.4 MHz camera system then TMCC uses a different frequency and should be ok. However, the default frequency of Legacy, some wireless phones and routers is 2.4 Mhz. Legacy can be easily changed to a different signal. 

I don't know of any wireless cameras that have good image quality. So I'd like to know what system you plan to use.

I've only had success mounting a small digital camera on a flat car. Outstanding images. Better light sensitivity too.

Bob.....brand, etc escapes me now (it's packed up with some other "to-do" items) but will let everyone know how it works out when I actually get to it. I've been meaning to run this by the forum for sometime but keep forgetting as it's not on the front burner. I believe the camera can be switched to broadcast on more than one channel. I also have a track voltage regulator so it can work OK with conventional layouts. It also came with a 9v battery attachment.

Is your camera small enough to clear tunnels, bridges, etc or did you only run it on loops without such? My camera is too large to fit under most "over-track" accessories.

Thanks for the reply.

I have the little CM200 camera mounted on a Jordan Spreader, it has 8 channels and has worked fine with the Legacy.

Thanks John.....as memory serves, that looks pretty identical to the one I have...

Earnie,

i have a Nikon camera  that is 2x4" wide. it just barely clears everything when I angle it slightly and tape it in place. When put on a flat car behind a smoking small steam engine it gives a nice effect. I'm curious about how your setup works. Transmit to a receiver that is cabled to the TV? How do you get digital recordings?

You're right Bob, these broadcast to a small receiver that outputs composite video and audio.  To get it into a file, you'd have to use a video capture card on a computer to generate the video file.

Yes Bob...like John said!  LOL....I record family movies and then store on CDs.
