I would like to buy a video observation to monitor a broodmare due to
foal in March. It would be nice to be able to watch and listen from a
heated office or house rather than the unheated barn. Unfortunately
I can't find such equipment locally, so I am looking for mail-order
sources.
The only system I have ever seen is a Hyundai system listed in a recent
Damark catalog for $299.99. It seems fairly nice, B&W with 3 lux
sensitivity and a 2-way audio intercom. However, I have no idea if the
price is competitive.
I need good low-light sensitivity for nighttime use. Audio would be
nice, but color is not required. If you know of sources and/or prices
for such systems please let me know. If I receive email responses and
requests for the info I will summarize.
Thanks in advance!
Greg

The cheapest that I have seen is the DAK "home detective" or some silly name. It is a small plastic CCD camera, about 50-100' of wire, and a small BW monitor. All for about $150. The unit is made my Uniden and given the price it is quite nice. The quality of the camera image is relatively poor but if you can manage the price is right.

This may not fit the bill for you if you need performance too. jv . /|/| _______/ | | ( ) \ | | \|\| _____ | | Johnathan Vail | n1dxg@tegra.com |Tegra| (508) 663-7435 | N1DXG@448.625-(WorldNet) ----- jv@n1dxg.ampr.org {...sun!sunne ..uunet}!tegra!vail
