BBSS Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Hi Guys. I'm looking at a possible job that's coming up and having been to site I have addressed the main obstacle. The client has a stand alone unit away from the house that's set back 50m from the main driveway entrance to the premises. I need to cover this main entrance and also provide decent IR lighting. The recording equipment will be inside the main house and there's no means of cabling across the open driveway. Is there a wireless camera that will cover the entrance 50m away and provide adequate illumination? There is an adjacent outbuilding where an IR lamp could be mounted. The other option is to use a wireless data transmitter/receiver and cable the chosen camera to this and pick the signal up on the house. Any advice is greatly appreciated Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations? The distance from the building the camera will be mounted on to the subject area is 50m. Ideally prefere to have some form of intergrated IR if not a stand alone IR lamp can be used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally prefere to have some form of intergrated IR if not a stand alone IR lamp can be used Wireless IP cameras with IR are available but tend to be small devices designed for small areas such as a room. To then get one capable of looking at the area and distance you need with wireless is going some. Look at having the lighting seperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfur mo Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 1st off, do you have mains power at the camera location? if so, while dedicated IP cameras have reduced in price, you could use a very small Gtec or SystemQ Alien DVR simply as a remote web server, and then you will have a vast range of cameras from which to choose from, even PTZ's. views are then accessed via internet over an ADSL provider (using DYNDDNS instead of a fixed IP). not over sure about the dongle idea in this scenario. you would needto do the sums as with a dongle, the ongoing data costs and 'fair usage' data capping (if constantly viewed) might be an issue, and well above the costs of a regular BT line rental and ADSL IP costs, but perhaps Paul will enlighten us?
