I too have noticed that the battery drains quickly without using a display system. So, I’m planning to make a display system using the same method described in the DIY instructions.“Plugging the cameras in to a display … DOUBLES your battery lifeâ€
Quick question, what would be the device/tool that allows me to do the job of splicing two videos together onto one screen, if I don’t want to solder anything? Please excuse my lack of knowledge in regards to electronics, but I suppose the reason for going through the trouble to create a device for oneself would be to save money, because I could imagine the device would be expensive if purchased at a store.
But if I were to buy it at a store... again (noob question) -- what would I be looking be looking for? I was thinking this is called a video converter, or diverter. The people at RadioShack/Best Buy don’t know what I am talking about when I try to explain what I need to them—because I’m not sure what the device is called.
Anyway, if anyone could let me know what I need to look for at the store that would help me out.
Oh and worst comes to worst, if can’t find this, I’m just going to get two TVs (I know I can get cheap analog ones for free).
After I get this setup my project should be complete.
Thanks
