What GSM CCTV to use as a Target Cam?

[dave1372 83]

For shooting at a long range target I was thinking a GSM CCTV camera would maybe a good solution for seeing where my shots go instead of having to jump in my motor every few shots?

 

I see that you can buy them off the internet easy enough but I am reluctant to do so if the camera is crap and cant see a 6.5mm hole from a few meters away. Any suggestions what to go for?

 

I want to be able to use my mobile phone to get it to take a picture and either view live video or see the picture it texts me.

 

Any useful recommendations would be very helpful

I'd suggest speaking with the people from handykam.com Dave, I use several of their systems at work, and the cameras would certainly show up the impact point. The drawback is that you'd probably need a wireless transmitter for the ranges you'd be needing, and that's where the cost jumps up. I only use the wired systems which are great up to 50 metres but I'm not sure whether you could extend the range without a drop off in quality.

I've made up systems from different pieces of equipment from them after explaining what I need, and they've always given sound advice, and the after sales service has been top notch.

I don't have either, it takes a bit longer, but I just use a bit of leg work

I don't mind leg work but I don't have time to do that much walking when shooting at a target 500 yards away. I want to be able make scope adjustments without doing a 1000 yard walk every 5 shots.

Yep, I know that:wallbash: , but what magnification is capable of seeing a 6.5mm hole at 500 yards?
