aggiejustin03 0 Posted March 17, 2016 I'm looking to install a camera at the gate to the property. Not factoring in elevation changes it will be about 1200 feet. I would like to be able to also trigger the gate opener too. What options do I have for that distance for a high def IP camera? Do I have to use baluns? There is no power at the gate outside a solar panel and car battery to run the opener. Would PoE be my best choice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattaggie 0 Posted March 19, 2016 This is a tough one, long distance and no electricity. As far as how to get a camera there, you could use an "IP over Coaxial" device, which can go much longer distances than Cat5. http://www.amazon.com/Etherstretch-Cameras-Over-Extender-EL1500C/dp/B009PHC88Q/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1458401148&sr=8-7&keywords=ip+over+coaxial I'm not sure how you would open the gate.
