Tips & Warnings
Given the range of the receiver, you can actually plug the composite video cable into a portable monitor, allowing you to view the image on the camera from anywhere within the receiver's range.
If you wish to record your images, simply attach a VCR to the wireless receiver by putting the output of the receiver to the input of the VCR, then the output of the VCR to the input of the monitor. You'll then be able to record the images to a tape.
Take great care to consult federal and local privacy laws before implementing security cameras in or around your home in order to avoid any legal penalty.
