I have a large o scale layout, where the furthest point is not visible because of buildings, scenery etc.

can anybody suggest a good and easy to operate camera that I can place in those areas and have it show on my iPad at my control panel. I like to keep it simple, but sometimes a train disappears and I have no idea where it is hiding.

thanks, Bruce

That seems boring to me but what do I know.  My preference would be to have a camera (small) mounted on the engine and have it transmit to flat screens mounted on the wall or walls and of course send to your Ipad.  If you have a site, it could also feed it.

The most interesting approach would be to have goggles that took the feed from the engine camera and really put you in the drivers seat.

Lots of small wifi cameras on the market. Shop around.

Look for something that will connect directly without needing a subscription (like Ring).
