WebCam and PIC

[harrisondp]

I would do what sougata would do with using a ccd / cmos video camera with a lcd tv monitor.

Just take a look at the cheapest camera that supercircuits offers: http://www.supercircuits.com/index.a...odID=4232&HS=1 . It is a b/w ntsc camera that costs a wopping $11.95 bucks. That is really cheap, probably cheaper than usb cameras since you can get a billion of these cheap cameras, and only a few cheap usb cameras.

can these kind of LCD TV cameras have lenses could control zoom in and out
for a target far away about 100 meters and more to view that far target in the LCD TV cam ??

The higher end cameras have high res and 22 power optical zoom. 100 meters should be a breeze! Stay away from digital zoom because it degrades the pic quality. It becomes "pixelated" and useless. I'd suggest a camera with an absolute minimum of 410 lines of resolution. Pretty cheap nowadays in black and white. Check low light ability also if the lighting will be less than full daylight conditions.
