In a nutshell
The kit includes everything you need to install on board real time streaming digital video in an engine or car that uses constant track power (12 to 28 V).. The Kit contains one IP-2061 digital IP cam, one self contained Internet web server, one 802.11g WiFi dongle, one 5V high efficiency regulator and rectifier and all connectors and other parts required for the installation. The unit is furnished fully assembled, you only need to hook up the input power, the rest is plug and play. All leads are left long to facilitate installation, you may shorten to fit.

Power
The DVRAC will run in any unit with with clean and constant track power between 12 and 28 V AC/DC/DCC and draws approximately 200ma. It is intended for folks with DCC or radio controlled locos (not for conventional variable DC). The unit does not include a battery but does include a high efficiency 5 V regulator and rectifier protection circuit.
The unit will run well on any railroad that has reliable track power (DC/AC/DCC) but can not tolerate a power drop for more than about 1/2 second. If you have manually switched reversing loops or variable DC track power you are better off with one of our units that includes an on board battery.
Installation
The kit requires moderate skill level to install, loco disassembling and some light soldering (power supply feed wires) required. The kit will fit comfortably in almost any 'road unit' diesel. Fits most steam engines if tender is used.
