[SML] Conductor/IR Cams

[Dale Farmer]

For purely internal usage, cheapo security cameras are hard to beat for price & performance.  They are available in a variety of grades of quality, from grainy B&W to nice color, and you can get ir ones with ir illuminators.     Find a local security company or go take a look at the packaged systems available from staples or home despot.  

  Adding the hdmi output option pulls you into substantially more expensive price range and out of my knowledge base.

What I would caution you about is the latency inherent in digital video. 
  We've had issues using digital cameras and the monitor view is a 
half-beat or more behind the actual conductor.
