Abstract
A combination device for wireless video monitoring and remote control of a still camera is disclosed. In operation, the device includes a television camera that is positioned so as to photograph through the view finder of a camera. The image photographed is transmitted electronically to a video receiving means located at a remote distance from the camera. The camera lens and the means for vertical and horizontal positioning of the still camera are connected by servo motor means to a means for receiving control signals. The control signals control the focusing of the lens and horizontal or vertical position of the camera. A transmitting device located at the site of the video receiving means, transmits control signals for directing the servo motor means to move the camera's lens or change the camera's position.
