Here's the setup I need. I want to be able to check the cool room from my computer or smartphone. My showbarn is less than 400 ft from our house with clear line of sight. I want to put a camera in my coolroom with infared night vision. At this time our wifi does not reach the barn but I am pretty sure I can overcome that obstacle. The cooler is made from grocery store walk in cooler panels and they are fairly thick. How can I get signal from inside the cooler to the outside? What camera and equipment do I need? Any suggestions? We currently have the uniden system in our pens and it's hooked to a monitor in the house but I need something in the Coolroom that I can check when I am away from home.

A friend of ours just put on the same monitoring device lthat hog units use it calls him in case of a power outage or if the temp gets above a certain level. I know they work pretty well since I use to manage a large hog unit and would get calls for all sorts of things. I know there are a couple of different companies that also do it.

I bought a couple of the camera linked in this thread on Jasons recomendation. Work great! They have extra stenth antennas available for your distance. Do you have a device that can test wifi at the camera location? (Iphone,ipod?) There are range extenders available if there is no signal there.
