I am looking for a wireless video system which can transmit a decent looking video signal around 1200-1500 yards, outdoors. The camera would be at ground level, not in the air.
I figured that some folks around here would probably be the ones with wireless transmitter experience and knowing of their usefulness on the ground.
I shoot long-range rifle targets out past 1000 yards, and the trip to the target and back is a long haul. That distance is too far to see your hits on paper, so it really slows you down getting on target.
My idea was that I could use a camera just in front of the target and on the side, and use a transmitter to get that video back to me at the shooting bench with TV.
There is a website I found while searching, and they list 3W, 5W, 10W and 20W models of 1.2GHz and 2.4GHz. I do not know which signal is the more appropriate one for this. I'm wondering if the distances they state are likely to be achieved, or if these are even the right models to be looking at. I guess the biggest concern is powering the unit on a D/C battery out in the field, and just how big of a batt I will need. I don't want to overdo it on antenna wattage, and then run out of battery power.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for setting this system up effectively?
Thanks
