help with a good battery powered cctv moniter

Recommended Posts

Im wondering if anyone can give me some input on a battery powered moniter to check cctv cameras. It just needs to have an AV IN or BNC connector for an input and a battery so I can be outside on the side of a building without being tethered to an outlet and I dont care about the size of the screen. Iv found on ebay these $60 2.5" moniters with wrist straps that I like but am not happy with having to buy them from china, no offense to any chinese iv just had a bad expeirence with chinese elctronics from ebay.

Any help is apprecieated. Thanks

Check your local Craigslist for a used portable DVD player. My latest one is a Polaroid 7" model with a flip-around screen (can turn 180-degrees and lay flat), came with wall and car chargers and a really nice case with "headrest" straps (which work great to secure it to the top of a ladder)... all for $30. I just posted an ad that I was looking for one with an A/V input, and this was the best of the replies. Just make sure to test it before handing over the cash

 

Bonus feature: it can be used as a signal source for testing cables and monitors as well
