I am curious if anyone with more networking hardware and software knowledge can tell me if this is possible and how to best achieve it.
Want: A wireless network at my family's ranch that can link trail cameras/security cameras over distances of 0.3 miles, which is the current furthest distance we go to from camp, and up to a maximum of 0.5 miles.
Currently there are 5 points of interest to be monitored. Live Video would be nice but is not required.
These systems would need to be low power since they will probably be powered by a battery bank and charged via solar panels.
I would like for the cameras to send pictures/videos to a host system that will be located at camp, which also does not currently have electricity.
Is this possible with off the shelf hardware? It feels like more of a pipe dream at the moment but I would like to be able to throw this kind of project on my resume at some point.
I'm unfamiliar but willing to learn to work with embedded systems if programming a chip is necessary. Plus I think it would be cool/fun.
