There's the $99 Pay Once or $19 Monthly software; a $200 camera; a $575-$1237 projector; and possibly perimeter lights at $600 -$800; (or the option to hunt down used hardware) -- so roughly like $1500 -$2300 to deploy.

Pool actually is a very cheap hobby in comparison to others. If you are into pool, $2500 is a reasonable expendature when you include the cost of a high end pool table at home for enjoyment. Let's say you spend 10-12k on a great pool table that will last you your lifetime, then $2500 on a setup like this, you are all in for 15k. If that is your only hobby that is very reasonable for a lifetime of pleasure.
In comparison let's take fishing for an example. Most fishing boats now days go 75k-150k, then rods, lures, gas, truck to tow, and on and on.
Walleye boats start at 100k on up to 150k+ and they are selling them as fast as they can make them.
One of the best investments you will ever make if you like pool is a professional quality table, you can grow old with it and only an occasional recover without ever buying another table and never spending a dime on gas to use.
I would be interested in something like this but am not getting rid of my light for a perimeter light as I just don't like them because of their glare and light spill throughout the room. I also don't want a projector hanging down off my ceiling. I might consider it if the camera sent the signal to your computer, and then that was sent to a tv in your pool room. You can buy a 65"-75" tv for $500 for your pool room that allows you to watch tv also. I just feel projectors are so old school and would much rather have the image come up on a tv.
