    Anyone get one of these before? Could it be hooked up to the house 450m away, and view images on a smart phone?

    Simple answer is no. It would not be powerful enough to transmit up to 450m. In reality, a camera like this is made to be placed at your front door and to transmit to your tv inside the house. Any further and it just won't work.

    You definitely cannot view images on a smartphone with this camera.

    Have a look back at some of the threads about cameras. There is some great information in them.

    My house is over 100m from the sheds also, what I got was this: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/110833036940?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3863wt_1149

    I plugged it into the back of the router in the house, then mounted it on the roof, facing the calving shed. I got a wifi camera similar to that one in Aldi, from some online shop from China, for about 50quid. The route antenna worked grand, but the cheap wifi camera was faulty, and it was not worth sending it back, with the cost of postage etc:rolleyes:! I'll pickup another camera somewhere again and try it again though, even with the 50quid waste, I'll still get a system for way cheaper then many of the commercial units that are being sold in Ireland at the minute!

    In terms of using a smartphone, that is no problem either, you just need the to send the camera to upload to an online webserver, and just log into this with any browser on your smartphone or pc, from anywhere around the world!
