FlyingJ 0 #1 December 31, 2014 Looking for options to monitor a handful of outdoor cameras, connected via wireless to some type of base station and monitored via an internet connection. Anyone have any experience with something like this? The situation is a property with cattle on it a couple hundred miles away from where we live. We have someone local that keeps an eye on the cattle and does some minor work and shipping for us but he was sick recently and it just so happened that two water lines quit working at the same time. We lost 8 cows for a completely preventable reason. We want to post cameras in areas that allow us to see certain areas of the property (water troughs, windmills, etc.) but running wire is out of the question and we would like to be able to view the video feed from a couple hundred miles away. Doesn't even have to be video...could just be still picture on demand or even once a day. Anyone have experience with anything similar?Killing threads since 2004.

kawisixer01 0 #2 January 1, 2015 Not sure how high of a quality system you want. But Lorex is pretty good stuff, they are a division of Flir. Setting up online is actually pretty easy. Even most consumer grade systems offer web connections that you can view from any device on the net including your phone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How is the encryption/security on those?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dot_txt 0 #5 January 2, 2015 quite possible. Few questions: How big is the property? Specifically, what kind of distances between the camera locations? Do you have an internet connection at the location? If not, is there a possibility of getting a connection, or at least 3G cell service? Landscape, mostly flat, or lots of hills? Will the stations have line of site to at least one other station? Does each camera location have power? If not, is the weather good enough to give you sunlight at least every third day?
