A customer recently contacted CCTV Camera Pros on chat and was asking about a wireless system for analog cameras, AKA CCTV cameras. Here is the transcript:

Wireless Customer: Hello, i need a wireless effective system to transmit video from analog cameras in outdoors at 700 ft

Customer Support: Hi Wireless Customer, do you have a direct line of sight between the two areas.

Wireless Customer: yes

Customer Support: no trees in the way either (nothing at all in the way).

Wireless Customer: and rain at half of year. no trees, full line of sight

Customer Support: OK. You can use this system: http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Wireless-Security-Camera-System-p/wifi-en95610.htm

Wireless Customer: ok, let me see, one minute

Customer Support: with a video encoder on the camera end: http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Video-Encoder-p/vivotek-vs7100.htm

and a decoder on the DVR end: http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Video-Decoder-p/vivotek-rx7101.htm

Wireless Customer: ok, it work like IP wireless system?

Customer Support: This explains basically how it works: http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Wireless-Security-Camera-System-p/wifi-en95610.htm#wireless-camera-system-installation

The encoder makes the signal digital / IP based for the wireless bridge, then converts back to analog on the receiving end.

Wireless Customer: so, what you think about rain, it affects video quality at this distance?

Customer Support: If the rain is very hard, it can affect the signal. There is always some risk of interruption of connectivity with wireless equipment.

Wireless Customer: ok, good

Customer Support: if you want something very stable this is another option: http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Wireless-Video-Surveillance-Transmitter-p/wifi-900xtrp.htm
It is much more expensive because it is a 900mhz system which can go through trees and some objects.

We recommend this system when there are trees in the way and when the job is very high end.

Wireless Customer: good, i going to check information and contact sale department...

Customer Support: OK. Please let us know if you need any additional help.

Wireless Customer: thx
