Wow, great Forum/BBS!

Some of you are from germany?

Where can I get a cheap Desktop Rover + Wireless Cam here?

Any Info on good working rechargable-solutions?

Ordering from the US is not such a big deal either, since my father lives in MN, and the packages are shipped as gift, which raises the tax-limits---- and sometimes he pays shipping and part of the stuff ;D

Ciao!

Cool, here in germany its about 79 Eur, the cam 145, Telecommander another 79 Eur-

Maybee I should order it (let my dad buy it and send it to me to save $$$ on Tax/customs here in germany)


Ciao!

Update on that connector. The plug on the end of the camera has a small PCB molded into the plug. The camera will not operate without it.

lo all, my first post here. Great forum. Im pretty new to DTRs, (just ordered my first pair tonight in fact) but I do have a little experience with wireless cam setups and may be able to shed some light here.

I cant be 100% sure without actually seeing it myself, but the small PCB mounted device you found inside the molded DC power jack might be a tiny 5V regulator. The integrated Tx probably runs on the full 9V, but many of these CMOS cams can only accept up to 5V DC. With the regulator in place, everyone is happy. Remove it and you will have problems, possibly even damage the cam.

Nice thread. Looking forward to seeing some more of these mods.
