$99 Wireless HDMI - Surveillance Applications?
Here's a startup crowdfunding a $99 wireless HDMI dongle. The video below gives a good demo of the device and how it can be generally used:
For surveillance applications, this might be a good method of projecting camera views / VMS client to a public view monitor, especially for $99.
What do you think?
I guess it's similar to Intel® Wireless Display (Intel® WiDi).
Right ?
Yep, I know that
plus few more "stupid proprietary standards exist"
drive me crazy :)

What is Chromecast?
Chromecast is a thumb-sized media streaming device that plugs into the HDMI port on your TV. Set it up with a simple mobile app, then send your favorite online shows, movies, music and more to your TV using your smartphone, tablet or laptop.

It seems you need to load software on the computer to stream, which is disappointing. I wish there was a transmitter and receiver pair you could connect to the video out on your laptop and the other to the video in on the monitor and not have to load any software. It would make connecting to our ceiling mounted projector a lot easier.

I've looked at Gefen before, and that unit you linked wouldn't work exactly like I want, but looking further I found what looks like a new product that does...
GefenTV Wireless HDMI Extender with USB powered transmitter,
So thank you very much for prompting me to look again.
Now to keep it relevant, as compared to Airtame, I'm sure these units are more expensive. So I guess it depends if you want to load streaming software or not.
if they are reliable i would buy them by the box if available... so many applications where this would be a good fit vs. running single and duat category cables for hdmi extenders.
I have used the Nyrius a few times in my home. I have the Home + and works great for the multiple laptops and other stuff we have in our home. We have even incorporated the Prime with 4 other sticks to display AXIS Camera station on 3 other main monitors around a security office we have done before.
Great product but not the cheapest.
Has anyone tried Eyespy FX (PVM) app to view surveillance on a public monitor or a tv thru an iPhone? Only for use with AXIS Camera Companion.

Philips makes a nice wireless HDMI solution with no software to install. It's worked brilliantly in our conference room in the office for months, but then failed us in the booth at ISC West with pixelation and lag issues. I'm not sure what the issue was but it was so bad we didn't use it as intended.
$120 but finding it is getting tough (either selling like wildfire or stopped making it is my guess).
