Railcam

Thank me after it's installed an working :) (I love spending other peoples money!)
 
Cheap, rust-proof mounts (shorten the 8" long vertical piece to suit the shorter Loco):

I'm out of town currently so I don't have access to a pc, but I am definitely making my son do most of the work. We mounted the cam up together (which he was terrified going up the 20 ft ladder) and we set up obs and YouTube live together. I just want to make sure I order everything so when I get home I can hook it up "real quick". So do I need to order anything more than the pre configured kits? My biggest question is how I power up the unit in the garage. I see in the schematic injector switches and "switch 1". Since I only have one camera do I need the "switch 1".
 
The kit should come with power injectors for both ends.

No, that is "Switch" with a NOTE 1 which states in the NOTES toward the bottom at (1): "Eliminate switch if only 1 camera."

More info:

Based on reviews from amazon, some vendors don't tell the end user much about how/where to mount the pre-configured units.
Hopefully they are labelled and if so, please look at my schematic again in post #22 above:
In the home on your LAN install the unit configured as "AP/BRIDGE" (Access Point / Bridge) and at the remote site / garage install the unit configured as "STATION/BRG" (Station / Bridge).
 
Glad it worked out for you! Enjoy!!!
