Wireless cameras

In my opinion, the X10 cameras provide a picture of substandard quality, but the price is right.

There is no problem getting small -- even smaller than the X10. The problem is cost. What is your budget? You might try looking at Super Circuits

Hi Gordon,

The budget is about $100 for the camera, not too much. I'm more concerned with reliability and transmission distance than picture quality. Also the smaller and lighter the better, I'm not too sure what kind of options I've got (if any) in that price range. I'll check out supercircuits. Thanks.

what about cmucam + a rf txer or one of the high power bluetooth = modules(100m range)

another thing is

This is the smallest self contained camera and transmitter I've seen. Over all, I've been very pleased. Good to very good (not great) image quality. If they only had a video out as well as 2.4GHz RF out, I'd say it was the perfect robot eye. But they don't. So don't expect to do on board processing.

Below are some links that might be of interest if you want to use the X10 cams. Do note that X10 is in a legal bind right now and may be slashing some prices.

Thanks Si for the great links!!
