( 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. k.......................

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 |
