So first off Professor Chaos did a WAYYYYYY better job than I did so I am not trying to even compare that system to mine.
I work in the CCTV industry and know that it is extremely difficult, and borderline impossible, to get a LIVE 1080P stream without any lag.
I first designed this system using a Raspberry Pi Zero and the 8MP camera @ 1080P and the delay to my tablet was almost 3-5 seconds at times. I have a Linksys MU-MIMO router in the next room over from my layout so I know it is not my WiFi.
I have seen $500+ AXIS cameras hardwired to a switch give similar lag, its part of the encoding/decoding process and bad WiFi can make the issue even worse. With that said, I decided to go for good-ole analog 960H and a cheap FPV system to cure my latency issues.
Here is what I designed:
I still need to wire the leads to the powered trucks I added to the Husky Stack. I had not thought about the loss of power so I didn't add a huge Capacitor but Prof. Chaos does make a great point and if I see it becomes an issue I will address it as he did with a super cap.
My plan is to wire the receiver to my homes CCTV system (its HD-Over Coax/Analog compatible) and Live View it on the Display/Phone APP.
I think so far in parts I am less that $35 in as I asked the manufacture of the camera for a "DEMO UNIT" lol (Perks of my job) and I had the powered trucks from an old Caboose I picked up at a garage sale.
I will post a video when I finally finish this project up.
P.s. I have seen these recently on eBay and Amazon, might also be another option:
