I picked up a couple of nice little 2.4GHz wireless cameras (colour PAL, 
sound) on trademe for $130 each. They retail in DSE for over $400. Not 
good in low light however, but cable length isn't a problem and you can 
get multiplex input cards from the same guy.

Might be a little pricey, but they work really well on radio controlled 
vehicles! ;)
