somethingsane 0 Posted July 19, 2014 I've been asked to figure out how to install a small 4 camera system for a home. Just a simple PoE system. But, one of the cameras is for a gate located around 600 feet from the house. Has anyone had any experience with directed wifi antennae, or line-of-sight systems with cameras? I will have electricity at the gate, but I'd rather not try to bury 600' of Cat5. Would Cat5 even carry signal that far? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

buellwinkle 0 Posted July 20, 2014 The only cameras I know of that have awesome WiFi radios are the bullets from Brickcom. They have external antennas for WiFi. One 1080P model that comes to mind is the WOB-200Np V5. Look for models that start with W. Also, they can work off 3G or LTE, so you can go that route if WiFi. The other alternative is to go with wireless bridges like the Ubiquiti NanoStations or Engenius bridges. More complicated than having it built in but more flexible. They can go for miles given line of site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
