Wireless wonder (target camera) - still being sold?

[kmcdonou]

I tried to contact Forrest Foster about his wireless wonder target camera and his email didn't work (FFoster@dsginc.biz). Just curious if he is still selling the target camera.

Are you sure it was Forest's camera system? I believe it was another system that flopped, or should I say the guy was not shipping after payment.

I purchased Forests system a couple years ago and it works good, I have used it out to 600 yards and was hoping to try it at 1000 someday, I have not heard from Forest for a while, might be personal stuff but don;t remember anyone ever complaining about Forests system.

The TargetTeck system is out of business. I bought one for testing and it wouldn't work even at 75 yards. I send it back, tried to get a refund and there was no response. Eventually I needed to have Visa reverse the charges.

The current PSW system we use that works great is featured here:

$1500.00 complete with batteries and monitor. Visit www.ProSecurityWarehouse.com or call (407) 447-1637.

If you are interested, I built my own remote wireless system using a $50 linksys router, a $400 2X optical zoom security camera (ebay) and a high-gain antenna. You would also need a laptop although if the camera you buy supports the app, you might be able to use an iPhone or iPad- maybe even an Android-based device. Also a couple of cheap chinese 4800maH 12V Li-ON CCTV batteries which are small and encased, making them easier to use than a motorcycle battery or something. Finish with a Pelican case to pack it in and you are good. I'd guess the total amount of money invested, not including my laptop which was "free" from my work, is about $600 - $650 including shipping & stuff.

The setup I have *technically* should be good to a mile, but in testing, it's far less than that, but it's worked well out to 1500 yards for me.

Anyhow, if you want to PM me, I can send you the instructions. Anyone who has basic computing skills (i.e., type your name, press the power button, and connect to a wireless network) should be able to set it up easily.

i have about $175 in my 600-1000 yd. system, camera, Tranmitter, Reciever, TV, batteries and inverters....I see no reason to spend $1500 to see a holes in a target while prcticing.

Mike,
Could you share the info on your system,esp.the transmitter and receiver type,wattage,type of antenna and where you purchased it.
I've looked at a lot of sites and I'm not sure of exactly what I need at 1000 yds.I have the camcorder and monitor.
Thanks in advance,
Ron
