[Elecraft] OT: Security camera on your mast

[Erik Basilier]

Sorry if this is too OT for most:

 

I am considering security cameras for my home/qth. There are a lot of
package systems available these days, but my initial interest is for a
single camera mounted near the top of my tower/mast (rotatable of course).
Already available at the mounting point is a 50 ohm coax that I would use as
the only connection to the camera. The systems I see marketed use other
types of connections. Question: can anyone point me to a source for a
security camera for outdoor use, without additional weatherization, that can
be connected by a single coax only? Secondary considerations: Small wind
load is desirable. Good sensitivity for night use is desirable, but without
use of illumination devices (IR or visible) in the camera (another of my
hobbies is astronomical imaging). Of course, there is also the issue of
suitable recording devices, which may demand certain types of cabling.

 

Thanks in advance for any ideas. Please email me off list.
