Wireless Camera

Many of you have asked what I like to watch on tv. Right now, I’m watching oranges, using a wireless camera. The oranges are on the other side of my house, and the camera is tethered to a nine volt battery. The receiver is plugged into the wall, near my tv. Half of the receiver is plugged into the tv, and the other half into the wall.

All of this is possible, because of what came in the little box you see me holding. It’s only about $100.00. The signal, when close to the receiver, is really pretty good! It’s a little more secure than if you were broadcasting with a 900MHz connection. I’m not sure what I’m going to use this for yet, though.

The issue I have with it so far, is that I can’t seem to change the channel on the camera. Also, the wireless camera literally kills any kind of internet connectivity I may have in my home office. The focus can be adjusted, which is nice. It also has a little stand that it comes with, as well. You probably couldn’t use this as a full-on security camera. Whoa, wait! We could put it inside a teddy bear, and use it as a nanny cam! Or maybe… I could scare Ponzi!

Since I’m a geek, I think this is cool as heck. Some people may disagree, and that’s ok.

If you can’t change the channel on your Wireless camera then change the channel on your router, most routers let you do that and I expect you to have a high tech one so of course you could do that.

Analog wireless camera always have this problem. You should check out the Portable Bluetooth camera from geniesys. The camera is able to stream to a cell phone using bluetooth… way too cool..
