How can I connect a webcam located at the bottom of my garden to my home computer network?

I want to put a webcam about 40m away at the bottom of my garden, I can run power and cables to it but it is too far to use a USB cable. It must be possible but I don't know how. What hardware/software would anyone recommend to do this to link the camera to my wireless network - although I could use a connection to an RJ45 socket if necessary.

Many factors here, water being a big one. You'd need a wireless connection, and some proper ouside electrics, and a solution to keep it watertight. Look at Netgear stuff, and speak to a local electrician to sort out power. I don't know if you can buy webcams with wifi built in, but it may already have been done. Oh, then just a wifi card for your pc...

Reply:You could try a wireless web cam (take a look at Linksys), or you could just buy a small CCTV bullet camera (or similar) and connect it to your computer via a video capture card.

Hauppauge WinTv cards usually have an external video input. (And you can watch TV as well !!).



Hope that helps

Basicly you can inject power into a standard ethernet cable and it will also have data transmission. its cheap you can get special cat5e or 6 cable to run outside, its the cheapest solution and itspretty safe if the cable gets broken.



we use it for wireless net working in locations that are a pain to get power to
