I have a surveillance camera I keep playing around with on my R/C car and I am also considering putting it in a bird box. It is a 2.4ghz transmitter and has four channels 2414MHz;2432MHz;2450MHz;2468MHz.



Do I need the included receiver to pick up these frequencies or can a regular television with an old style antenna do it? If so where can I find out what channels various frequencies are?

It's probably digitized so a TV receiver would not decode it.

If it's one of those little board cameras, it's going to be analog... in which case you simply need a receiver.  I assume your receiver has an RCA jack on it for video-out?

If you had a TV that would tune to that frequency, you could certainly pick it up on your TV... all the 2.4gHz amateur TV stuff is FM, and receivers are easily bought all over the internet.

I don't know that your regular rabbit-ears are going to work... 2.4gHz is waaaaaaay higher in the spectrum than the usual VHF/UHF stuff.
