Hello all,
I've been tasked by my father-in-law to help provide a security camera system for his farm.
Unfortunately I'm a bit of a rookie in this department, but from what I've read there are two distinctions:
1. Wired camera (CCTV + DVR) systems.
2. Wireless camera (IP, WiFi, Cellular) systems.
Of the two I'd prefer the former, since it doesn't necessarily require network access, or some subscription service.
My question is:
For a wired security camera that is normally transmitting data to a DVR through coaxial cable, is there some product or means by which a signal impinging on the coaxial line can be wirelessly transmitted from one (transmitter) end to a receiver that connects (via separate coax cable) to the DVR?
I don't need delay-free, real-time surveillance of the property, and I don't think we can afford the 500ft of coaxial cable to run to the "surveilled site of interest". I also believe there are limits to the physical distance for which a signal of this type can propagate through coax without an amp/repeater.
Any technical knowledge regarding this subject is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your help!
