Widest wireless footage

[classyred]

I am thinking of installing a wireless system , but my house is secluded and about 500 feet from the road is there a camera that will go down my driveway that far so I could monitor the diveway and the house along with my three out buildings we have 5 acreas of land so there is a lot of coverage area needed.

I'm sure it shouldn't be a problem at all - either set up a couple of cameras for different angle (could be a good idea to cover the entire front of the house) or else a single camera staring straight up.

But if it's the entire 5 acres you'd want to cover then definitely some kind of multi-camera system.

Whereabouts are you located - USA or UK? I'll try and recommend a couple of companies you could approach for a solution if you wanted.

Yes the cameras has to be set up properly at the correct positions. Once they are positioned properly I don't think the connectivity part will be a problem.

We are also a long way off the road, and haven't really felt a need for a camera system. Also, it's rural, wooded, and if someone bad wanted to get on the property, they could avoid the road and get here anyway.
What we did install was a car-tel system which alerts us in the house when a car or person has turned into the driveway. Works great and gives some advance warning on people who just drop in.

The thing with wireless is you still need power. So unless you use a battery/solar charger then your going to have to run a power cable anyway...

Well again issue would be to put that Wireless option down due to loads off thing will set these camera going mad.

I would recommend you go into an Wired system with cable running down under the ground about 1 foot into ground or on top in mental pipeing.

and someone installed car-tell system they are great and I use them on loads of thing also great to encase in-laws come down drive way.

Hello Classyred
With so much space to cover its best to protect the the house and close buildings with a wired system and poss one or two PTZ cameras, that can be triggered by movement sensors (battery operated) to shoot down to the entrance and out buildings etc. Not cheap though

Multicore,

Now that I do like sound of and I fitted one last month to an Jail and the Camera cost alone 2k which moved when Sensors were tickers and it was Nightmare to fight as Sensor You had to get ryt so it only pick up people

[iStorm]

Yes a quality DVR with PTZ capability combined with some GJD sensors should do the job!

Hello there!
You can increase the range by using wireless repeaters, however, questions remains as to how to supply power to one or more repeaters as well as as the wireless camera (in an open area). In a building, where power recepticles are available in every room and corridor, this shouldn't be a problem.
