See, you did the same thing as "Crowd Analysis" -- post a bunch of links that don't all describe the parts.
Even in a simple FPV setup, you have to watch it on something. Where is that in this setup?
Look at that camera description again! I don't think it puts out "TV" signal in real time. It says, play back, and then goes on to describe it as a good second camera in addition to FPV. Think about getting a Boscam instead. They output TV signal for FPV and have a header that can connect to your receiver so you can turn recording on and off, and maybe take stills too.
