Wireless Video Monitoring Hire London
Quick Answer: WaveHire hires wireless video monitoring systems in London from £50/day, covering ranges from 300 m to 600 m at sub-1 ms system latency, with scalable options for multi-camera and multi-monitor setups.
Wireless Video Monitoring: Built For On-Set Monitoring
The moment a production goes wireless for monitoring, the set changes. The camera operator can move without trailing a BNC cable behind them. The director watches from wherever they need to be, not wherever a cable run happens to reach. The focus puller has a live feed on their cart. The client sees the shot from a separate room. All of it, from the same camera, in real time, with nothing physical connecting monitor to lens.
The VITA range makes this possible across four products - two complete systems and two individual components - covering every wireless monitoring requirement from a single monitor point to a scalable multi-receiver build across a large production. Every product runs on the same 5.1 to 5.9 GHz OFDM platform, delivers sub-1 ms end-to-end latency, supports HD-SDI and HDMI connectivity, passes camera metadata and timecode, and responds to record-trigger commands. What differs between them is range, form factor, and how they fit together to build a monitoring setup around your specific production.
Wireless monitoring systems are widely used across professional film and broadcast production. The VITA range supports Sony professional monitors and any display with HD-SDI or HDMI input including SmallHD, TVLogic, and Atomos.

VITA PRO System - Long-Range Wireless Monitoring
The VITA PRO System is a complete transmitter and receiver pair for professional wireless video monitoring at up to 600 metres range. It is the system for productions where distance, signal reliability, or receiver output requirements go beyond what the Vita Lite handles.
The transmitter takes HD-SDI with a loop-through output so the on-camera monitor stays connected and also accepts HDMI. It transmits wirelessly on 5.1 to 5.9 GHz at under 1 ms latency. Camera metadata, timecode, and record-trigger commands pass through the wireless link alongside the video. Enhanced multi-antenna reception on the receiver maintains a stable link as the camera moves through doorways, around set pieces, or between floors. At the receiver, 2 x HD-SDI outputs and HDMI deliver simultaneous independent video feeds so a vision mixer, director's monitor, and recording device can all receive the same signal from one unit without external splitters.
The VITA PRO is the correct system for productions with long sight lines between camera and monitoring point, environments with RF interference or physical obstacles that test a shorter-range system, and setups where multiple output destinations at the receiver end need independent feeds.

The Vita Lite System is a complete transmitter and receiver kit for standard on-set wireless monitoring. Same 5 GHz OFDM platform, same sub-1 ms latency, same metadata and record-trigger support as the VITA PRO - at a 300-metre range in a lighter, more compact form factor that suits the majority of studio and location productions.
The transmitter is 105 x 70 x 23 mm and 260 grams. The receiver is 150 x 92 x 23 mm and 240 grams. Both are compact enough for gimbal rigs, drone setups, and crash cameras where a larger monitoring system would be impractical or too heavy. The receiver outputs 1 x HD-SDI and HDMI for your monitor.
For most productions, 300 metres covers every practical monitoring distance. The director's chair, the focus puller's cart, the client's room - all sit within range on a typical studio or location set. The Vita Lite transmitter is also cross-compatible with the VITA PRO receiver and the Vita Lite Receiver, giving you flexibility to build mixed configurations as your production's monitoring needs evolve.

The Vita Transmitter is the standalone camera-end unit. Hire it when you are adding a camera to an existing wireless monitoring setup, when you already own or are hiring a compatible receiver separately, or when you need to build a custom configuration without committing to a complete system.
It takes HD-SDI from the camera with a loop-through output and transmits wirelessly on 5.1 to 5.9 GHz using OFDM modulation at under 1 ms latency. Camera metadata, timecode, and record-trigger commands pass through alongside the video. The OLED display shows signal strength, link status, and active configuration. Two RP-SMA external antennas allow optimal positioning for the specific coverage requirements of your set.
Compatible with both the VITA PRO receiver and the Vita Lite Receiver. The most practical combination for adding a second camera to an existing setup: Vita Transmitter (£50/day) plus Vita Lite Receiver (£80/day) for a complete second wireless monitoring link at £130/day.

The Vita Lite Receiver is the standalone monitor-end unit. Add one each time another person on your production needs their own live wireless feed from the camera. One transmitter feeds multiple Vita Lite Receivers simultaneously, so every additional monitoring point is one receiver at £80/day.
The Vita Lite Receiver uses internal antennas. Nothing protrudes from the unit - no antennas to snag on a crowded monitor cart, bend in a tight on-set space, or knock out of position during a quick camera move. It outputs HD-SDI (3G) and HDMI simultaneously, connecting to any production monitor with either input. Camera metadata, timecode, and record-trigger all pass through from the transmitter.
At 150 x 92 x 23 mm and 240 grams, this is one of the lightest professional wireless video receivers available for hire. The OLED display confirms link status and signal strength. It is the most frequently hired individual component in our monitoring range.

The right VITA system depends on your monitoring distance and how many people need a feed. For distances up to 300 m on standard studio and location shoots, the Vita Lite System at £90/day covers most productions. For distances beyond 300 m or environments with more RF interference, the VITA PRO System at £125/day provides enhanced multi-antenna reception up to 600 m. To add extra monitoring points, hire additional Vita Lite Receivers at £80/day each - one transmitter feeds multiple receivers simultaneously.
