[Moon] [Moon-Net] camera recommendation requested

Dave good to see you on moonet. Here I use a $16 camera from China bought on
Epay color.
Should be black & white if you want to see the moon during the day. I have a
wide angle shot & I see the moon from a 10 cents piece to a 25Cents piece in
the center of my 6" monitor. Try to get a black & white camera if you can
find one. Also make sure it is waterproof mine is not & I put it inside of a
camper's flash lite. It runs on 12vdc which I have up the tower already for
relays & preamp & voila!!!
Good luck Dave nice to see you on moonet

Hello everyone:
I seek to add a camera to the center of my EME array to know when it's
on/off the moon.   

Requirements:

1.	wired camera (not wireless nor Bluetooth), 
2.	CCTV type is OK if available
3.	All weather capable -20 deg F through 110 deg. F
4.	Reliable all the time
5.	Monochromatic or color (either one) is OK

I recall there was some detail about viewing the moon that a certain focal
length (lens) is best and I'd welcome (please) camera recommendations
available today. 

Questions:
  What specific camera manufacturer and model do you recommend?
  What specific monitor (manufacturer and model) recommended? 
  What cable type is required?  (impedance, number of conductors and gauge
for 150 foot or 48 meter length)

Thank you; very 73,
