Minicam CCTV units:
Experience at Koi Carp events such as the BKKS at Newark, has shown us that screening slides with CCTV cameras is very popular as an alternative to using the eyepiece. Our Eyecams at the lower resolution levels (0.3, 1.3 and 2M) are driverless and are ‘plug and play’ units. For those who require a professional level of resolution we have a wide range of other units with resolutions up to 9M pixels. This of course is reflected in the price.
