sgade,
If you are wanting to go 200 meters then you are not going to beable to use USB or any other Data port for that matter. If I were you I would get an USB A/V converter (XLR8 makes one) and use a normal A/V Cam (Normal A/V RCA out) and connect them together with 200 meters of Coax cable.

Just my thoughts....

You could also use remote cameras. Check out http://www.x20.org

Sorry... Thats the wrong address.
http://www.x10.org is the correct one. Sorry about that. Look at the Audio/Visual products, and it will link you to another page which will have info on their wireless video transmission systems.

Also has wireless cameras as well. I've seen theirs in operation, works quite well.

Can these cameras reach 200 meters with a 2.4Ghz signal?

How do I use these cameras with a G3? Are there Mac drivers?
