Please suggest some LONG range wireless security cameras for neighborhood?
We’re looking into some wireless video survellience cameras for our subdivision.
What I’m looking for, ideally, is a receiver station which can recive the signals from multiple cameras so we can add on later (probably starting with 2-3 cameras maybe up to 4 or 6 later).
I see a lot of expensive cameras with a 100′ and sometimes 1000′ line-of-sight range but our needs are no less than 1000′ obstructed. Ideally we’d like to get a functional 2000′ range system.
We’re on a very limited budget and don’t need the fancy pan-and-tilt or zoom features; just a decent quality cam with a long range wireless capability.
We’ll use a computer with video capture card to record the signal after the receiver. So any recommendations for DVR / capture cards and/or software is also appreciated. However the most urgent need for info is on the cameras.
Thanks for links or whatever.
We really don’t have a specific budget right now. We’re mostly trying to find the bottom line how much a wireless system of this nature would cost. Right now the limiting factor seems to be wireless range (which is very limited even on cameras I’ve seen cosing over $1000)
Intel, not sure what the 2 price ranges are you provided but I am looking at the links, trying to find the best solution.
Rachael, we’re in Central Florida. Lots of rain/humidity but no snow.
As for range, I imagine we could work with 1000′ as long as that was a solid 1000′ through a neighborhood with trees and such (but over the tops of houses).
Note: We have cable and phone lines running through the entire area. Not sure if we could use these. Problem is we don’t want to depend on continued cooperation from residents (people come and go).
