I have one of both ;) I am currently using the $88 camera since I don't need
my camera to have sound, yet. I use the 6 AA battery Lego power pack with
the tip from the wall wart cut off and attached to a standard Lego power
wire. The battery pack lasts about 8 hours continuous usage. The wall wart
was rated at 12v and the Lego battery pack is 9v, but I haven't seen any
power problems so far. The equipment list is:
X10 Video Sender
X10 video Receiver
X10 Wireless Color Micro Video Camera
Studio DC10 Video Capture Board (connected via RCA plug to the Video
Receiver)
Webcam32 Software (http://www.surveyorcorp.com, I think)

Rich,
could you tell us what's involved in running the camera off batteries and
how long do the batteries last?
Which camera are you using? This one ($88):

Thanks.
