Reply to "Question about WIFI cameras on trains"

Thanks gentlemen for your kind replies.  

Here is a little more background information.  For many years I have had two TV's mounted on my train room ceiling.  I have a small TV camera in the engine and in the observation car that show what both the engineer and a rear facing passenger would see from a moving train.  The signal from each camera goes to a receiver that is wired to each of the TV's.  This set up has always been a hit; especially with the kids who come to see my layout.  The picture quality in this set up has been pretty good but with some rolling and static here and there.  So I am always looking for improvement and this is why I tried the experiment with my I phone that I mention in my original post.  

I  want my output to somehow show up on a regular TV screen.  And I was able to do this using an iPhone and Apple TV in the same room but with the drop out and freeze problems I noted.  Was this problem caused by the Apple TV interface or my iPhone not having the right kind of camera?   What I am trying to learn here is whether the new Lionel wifi system for cameras (caboose and theater car)  can be set up to stream onto a TV screen without drop out and freeze.   I prefer not to be limited to streaming only onto  a tablet or computer.
