need guide and experience for a remote webcam...



Hi,

A friend ask me what is required to setup to do this:
setup a webcam outdoor at more than 300m (900ft) from the first desktop available.

I have only the power available where the webcam will be.

ideally I'm looking for a wireless link between the cam and the router.
due to the topology, if I'm using a cable to connect the cam to the router, the distance will be 500m (more than 1500ft)

because the wireless (if used) will connect only the webcam to the router, I can use specific antennas and/or booster
maybe I can setup 2 routers (1 in the office and the second near the webcam)

does anybody as some experience in this setup?
can you recommend some hardware? (webcam, wireless router or any other component)

part of the requirements...
the webcam will not move and the webcam must support cold temperature... I mean -20c (-4f) or less (happy Canada...)
it's possible to setup the cam into a tiny house.

does the dlink products can be used?

I have to provide some ideas and budget in 2 weeks... so...
thanks for your help!!!

Jerome.
