Boy I bet you guys get the big bucks for going in places like that. I sure am glad we don't have to do that down here.

Ok guys, go to the posting I had on this. It will give you more information on it. Yes you can use it on a roof up to a 30 degree slope. Thanks for your interest.

Will,
It is truly a sad day now that we have to do things like that. From time to time I still hear about it concerning the cd. And thank you for the credit.

Ben,
I can set this system up on most anything. I am looking at a aerial system to safely inspect the roof with out fearing that my truck may and has rolled on the roof. Any ideas?

I use a similar system with the X10 Cam http://www.x10.com/products/x10_vk58...b94ec244085687

Battery operated, attaches to the laptop and operates wirelessly. I find the slower geared RC vehicles work best, I bought a robotics kit from Radio Shack with a tracked vehicle robot. Also looking at hooking up a bluetooth system with a multiple gas monitor to detect combustible/hazardous environments.

Mike,
I looked at the x10 for this. But how do you get enough light to see? Their system is not infrared? Also, where and how do you get power to run the receiver, if there is no power at the site? I use x-10's system in and around my house, along with the security system.. Retire law man, makes the wife happier if you get my drift. Besides, I like to sleep inside. You are looking in the right direction for other uses if it calls for it. Thanks for your input.
