I am in need of new barn cameras for foaling. I have been using Lorex 2.4 g wireless camera system the past 3 years, but last year, most times I could barely get a picture, and many times just audio. I think they are just worn out. So I need something new.
My barn is metal. It is about 300 feet from my house. I put the reciever in an upstairs window where there is a straight shot for reception.
I checked out the two companies that marestare recommends on their website, but just about fell over when I saw the prices of the wireless camera systems for 1 camera let alone 4 cameras. I am sure they are just surveilance cameras, and can probably be purchased for a much better price elsewhere if I knew the brand name, model number, ect. I really need a system that will penetrate the metal barn walls and roof, and the 300 feet distance to the house, so looking at a 1000 foot model or better.
So I am wondering what brands everyone uses, how they work, where you purchased them from, if your barn is metal, distances to barn and house, etc.
I have thought about hard wired cameras as well. Is there a way I can set up 4 wired cameras in the barn, and only have to run 1 cable to my house? Has anyone ever done this, and if so, where did you buy the cameras, supplies, etc.
Any input would be appreciated as foaling is about a month away. Of course money is always an issue so trying to find the best system I can for an afforable price. Thanks for any help and advice.
