Is there any good reason to not use a little wireless
X10 type camera pointed at a mast with directional
markings as a directional indicator?

The context is someone using a prop-pitch or other
rotor where there is no built-in indicator or the
indicator system has failed and the cost to repair
is prohibitive.

The little cameras are cheap, may be readily stuffed
into a tiny weatherproof box, and can grab what little
power they need from the rotator supply.

WDYT?
