Default NTSC or PAL?

I'm looking at buying a wireless video system from Black Widow AV.

The camera I'm interested in is the KX141 High Resolution Color CCD Camera

The Tx/Rx set is the 2.4Ghz 1000mW Transmitter and Receiver Set

Since I'm new to wireless video, please excuse dumb questions. I see that camers are in two type of formats, NTSC and PAL. Which type do I need to order? The following statement doesn't seem to clear it up for me.

What is "NTSC" and "PAL"?
"NTSC" and "PAL" are simply names for the TV formats used in North America and Europe, respectively. Most TV's and monitors are one or the other, so it is important when you purchase a camera that you select the correct one. When in doubt, head down to your local electronics retailer and ask them. There are many exceptions to the rule... Japan is NTSC for example, so when in doubt, check!
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
