I thought so too, but on their website it says that the XCam2 operates in the 2.4 GHz range. They are advertising 100' range, but I've used them before and reception can be kinda bad. It also appears that they are priced around $70-$120, so you better not have very many other add-on electrionics or you will be over the limit.

If you decide to use an XCam, you will have to either make it part of the "custom circuit" and run it off of a 20 Amp breaker, or off of one of their battery packs. If you run it off of the robot's main power supply it shouldn't be very hard to make a small voltage regulator to get the six volts you need to run it. Good Luck...
