Hello,
Does any one know the brand name of the camera pictured in the tutorial? I have been looking to buy a USB wireless camera and I can't find anythng on line at all. I thought I could go direct to the manufacturer if I knew the brand name. Nothing on Ebay for weeks now. Anyone know where I can buy one?

I have vaguely read in these forums of people using IP cameras with ARC but I seem to remember that not all IP cameras have windows webcam drivers.
Here is where to get the camera: http://www.pludeal.com/wireless-camera_c10
It cost $50US, free shipping. They sell Red, Blue and black, but make sure that you buy the blue since I bought a red and found out that the circuit was different than the one on DJ's tutorial and also had night vision.(Though I figured out how to make it work with the ez-b)

At best i think i found 32bit windows7 compatibility. The others that say specifically 64bit and windows7 have larger receivers and separate PS.
You are my bestes buddy from now on. I have been looking for a month now. It took all of five minutes after I read you post to have ordered it. I have tried every other option out there and this seems to be the only one that does the job. Thank you so very much. It sounds like I may need a tutorial from you to get it going.
Many thanks from Roger the bookmaker
I just noticed that this camera is a different brand. That explains the different Circuit. Another thing I noticed is that there is no USB dongle pictured. I assume that it does come with one? Can you verify that?
Thanks,

Ebay.
I received my camera and it is almost identical to the Konig. Where did you tap into the on off switch? I can't seem to find the correct soder joint.
To turn on the switch with the ez-b, you will need to solder 2 wires to the terminals of the on/off push-button, one wire on each terminal. if you short the push-button by temporarly connecting these 2 wires for 2 or 3 seconds, the camera will turn on. So what you need to do is to get the ez-b to short them for you with the set digital. To do so simply take these wires to the ez-b, connect the red wire to a digital port and the green wire to ground (see the picture), then temporarly turn the set digital port on for 2 or 3 seconds then off, and your camera will stay on!
To charge the battery, I connected 2 other wires directly from the battery terminal to one of the 5 volts output of the ez-b and ground.
If you need futher clarification, please keep in touch.

That does clear things up however this brand of camera is 3.3 volts not 5V. By the way, where is the fancy new search feature?
