Stream Video and/or Video from XBee?
Right now I am sending camera navigation video and audio from robot to PC with a relatively expensive security camera system -- one 2.4GHz Camera to PC link a little over $300.00 just for the link.
Will XBee, or any other Parallax radio link, stream video good enough for remote navigation?
Also, could I use the Parallax Internet card link to aid in my navigation system. I would be satisfied with just 500 to 1000 foot range on the remote. I have heard talk about a WiFi system or something like that, that Parallax might come out with.
Appreciate any comments on the subject.
Thanks,
Robert

Being quite a fan of Parallax products, as I'm sure many others of you are, but mostly because I have purchased about every sensor, controller, and other boards that they have marketed for the last 3 years, that I was hoping maybe some of my XBees and/or 433MHz Transceivers from Parallax that I have laying around, or maybe their new Wi-Fi Chip, all of which I know how to interface with my robot projects, would work as a video streaming link or even a link slower than 30fps. I even have two or three good IR and other Security cameras lying around -- I used to install them.
The separate link is mostly what I could use, something I might even be able to develop a two way video link for one on one communications with people between robot and base. Then shooting for the moon I might try to utilize the Parallax Internet interface board I have setting on a shelf for via Internet communications.
Thanks again for your suggestions.
