    Any Wifi experts here?
    I'm looking for advise on the installation & camera setup for a cow cam.
    I've seen a Motorola Focus camera which seems to work very well (in shop).
    Issue is getting the house Wifi signal to the shed.
    Distance from the house to the shed is about 60 metres.
    I got a wifi signal boaster for 50 euro but this only gets the wifi signal workng
    just outside the house.
    There is another shed with power that is about 25 metres from the house &
    also in view of the cow shed.

    What is needed to get a much stronger wi-fi signal over a longer distance?
    Has anyone done something like this before here?

    Many Thanks.

    Would that be to run a cable rom the router to the shed? Not sure that would be feasible.

    A cable from the Router to the dvr would be the best option.

    Ubiquiti Nano Station or Nano Beam will work here. I have used them in the past and found them to be spot on.
