don't use those 2.4 gig wireless cameras. they will only end up
causing you grief. instead set up a standard WAP / wifi setup and
transmit the pictures using the common ( and cheap on ebay ) remote
web / net cameras. you can remote control those, access the cameras
anywhere from your office or home network / router / or web , store
the pics on your computer, and transmit the network long distances
using standard , off the shelf , WAP / wifi equipment... available at
best buy or good guys.

with this more desirable approach , no one can sit in your parking lot
and watch everything YOU are seeing , thereby compromising your
security and activities ...plus you avoid the EXTREMELY irritating
circumstance of buying the equipment , installing the equipment and
suddenly finding out that any tom dick or harry with a common
2.4 gig spread spectrum cordless phone will wipe out your entire
wireless video system, and render it useless every time they power up
the phone. ( they will sweep the camera receiver freqs and tear your
video sync signals and make your video stream useless. )

the bubble of a common WAP net ( range ) can be from a few
square blocks to 20 miles ..depending upon what you buy to install.
stuff to do all of this is VERY affordable on ebay.

it's , simply put , a standard wireless office setup , using standard
web cams ... ! also good for upgrading your office net too.

I am looking into setting up remote monitoring of a lab at my
company using 2.4 GHz wireless cameras. The monitoring location would be
in a nearby building (a few hundred feet away across a small parking lot).
I know the range of those cameras is not very far, so I'm wondering if
anyone has any experience using any directional antennas (such as those
used for WiFi or the LPY2 "log periodic Yagi" from Ramsey Electronics) to
increase range on the receiver end. Assuming the stock transmitter
antennas are pointed toward the monitoring location, is there any chance I
could get this to work? Recommendations for specific antenna models are
also appreciated. I am planning on using an AOR AR-8600MkII receiver with
NTSC decoder board since the cameras are of different makes and the
channels they use vary across manufacturers.

TIA,
Doug
