LocoCabCam V1 Analoge
Wow, this is going back along ways, when digital cameras where not available.
But I still got a image from the camera, blury at times with interference as the image was transmitted by raidio and had to be tuned with the reciever.

Now this is going back along ways. The search goes out to find a digital camera that is small enought to insert into a locomotive.
The problem, the lens is in the front window, the red of the nose showd up blury, and the video is only viewable via an application on my iPhone. I wanted a streaming video.
