I live in a dead zone. Most things have to be line of sight to work.
A typical cordless phone is good for 25 to 50 feet. I have been
dealing with this for 30 years.
I got my cell phone working from nothing to five bars, by using a
very cool, and very expensive commercial booster. But I have a
problem with some cameras that work on 2.5Ghz . I need them to
monitor my 88 year old father who is afflicted with Alzheimers. They
are wireless, day, night, color, with audio, and they work fine
except in the one room I need to see most of all... his bedroom. In
that room it is mostly static with a in and out static picture,... if
I see anything at all.
But if I back out the door holding the camera, I instantly have a
good picture. Approximately eight feet away, in the kitchen, from his
door, is another camera that works great. It is some kind of
interference, but from what I don't know. There is nothing in his
room that could cause it. There is no phone in there, it has
conventional electrical wiring, cable TV.. nothing is transmitting.
So maybe the neighbors .... no way to tell.
These camera's have a little antenna at the top. Is there some way I
could run some kind of booster in that room for 2.5Ghz, or wire the
little antenna so it is picking up outside the bedroom?
I am ready to do or pay what I have to so that they work, but I would
like to use the cameras I have because the system scans one at a time
automatically.
Thanks
