The problem with video is that it is bandwidth hungry. If you picked up a couple of high gain point to point antennas, your pics will clear up and you can use a pan/tilt device where your camera sits. The biggest problem with the omni-directional antenns provided with the unit, is that it picks up a lot of external noise and interference. I've strung out good quality copper video coax up to 750 meters along a fence line, but much more distance than that will require a negative impedance device to pass data the other way for control functions. IP Cams are out of the question because even with cat6E , you have to re-hub at just over every 350 feet of network.

I use this set up and found more like it on eBay.
http ://www.ebay.com/itm/2-4GHz-Long-Distance-Outdoor-Wireless-Video-Transmitter-/260734884337?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb50299f1
I have just a cheap camera in case it gets hit hooked up to the transmitter complete with a battery pack which I get roughly 3 days worth of video broadcast.
The receiver is hooked up to a battery pack as well complete with a 9" monitor. All 12 volt. The receiver will give me a good day's worth of video. I have used this set up for target practice and hunting. I can cover my favorite hunting valleys from camp or cover camp from my hunting areas lol.
I have pushed just about 7km clear line of site and 4 km in the bush as long as I'm in the transmission path. Water proof, weather proof and worth every penny.

Good question? Mine came with RCA but I'm sure you can adapt to SDI. If you type pin hole camera or spy camera on eBay you will find them really cheap and they usually have wide angle lenses just large enough to place the camera roughly 6 feet in front of the target and still only have the target in view. I bought my cameras at $15 a piece and still have not hit the first one. Damn I just jinxed myself. If your adapting your camera be ready to part with it just in case you hit it.
When do you start needing a CRTC license

When they ask me for one! Lol. Actually in all reality good question and I don't know who to ask as well.
I have used this in many places and the only time I had issues is when I was approached by some rig hands who were about to perforate a well and asked me to shut it off until they were done. If I enter my typical ranges on Crown land I do hang up a sign stating who I am, what's going on and the use of wireless signals in the area just in case but never was I asked for licensing. I've had everyone from the RCMP to FnW to explosive techs come out to my hiding places and test their abilities to shoot at distance. I love watching the reaction of a person who has never shot at distances of a km plus and hit the target. I really makes their day.
Ouch!!!
Just used Masic's description on Ebay and found the same 3 watts as pictured for $60.00. Oh well I will check a little more if I ever have to replace the ones I bought.
Cut and paste this on Ebay to find them:

That looks like exactly what I've been looking for ! Anyone tried this setup yet ?
Right now I'm trying to decide between a wireless setup or a spotting scope. I only need to see out to 500 yd. right now, but I'm sure that will change....( just like only needing one safe ). With a decent spotting scope costing anywhere from $700.00 used to who knows how high for a good new one, this looks attractive, and I can also use it for other things as well.
Whay do you folks think ?
That's my dilema, I can see other uses for both the spotting scope and the camera, and I certainly don't "need' both...oh crap, I can see where this is going...
