Not really clear why live stream video is necessary in the first place.  Now if you have a very large layout 20' X 20', or larger with plenty of tunnels and hidden track. Then yes, a great way to monitor performance in tricky spots along the way' .  Makes sense.  But for quality model photography, I think one would enjoy having a more sophisticated device.  As I already stated, I would expect Imax quality for 100 bucks in today's world'... Lionel has a nice idea here. They need to provide a solid example though what the camera can produce'...

Like Bigdodgetrain said earlier, live streams go over great at open houses and public shows. The camera car is almost more popular than the trains at moments. 

Imax Quality for $100.00 inside an o-gauge caboose isn't going to happen. Add a couple more zeros to that number and you'll hit that target.

EDIT:

Quarter Gauger 48, based on your previous post, did you mean to say "I wouldn't expect Imax quality for 100 bucks in today's world"

And yes, Lionel needs to post video of this thing running in field conditions. Roaring down the track at High and low speeds, Going through tunnels to see how the camera reacts when going from one lighting extreme to another.

 

Yes Sir, I meant to say, wouldn't.  Typing on these darn tablets I hit the wrong keys.........
