A customer contacted CCTV Camera Pros with the following question related to using wireless CCTV cameras for streaming a live wildlife cam / web cam:
I was thinking about doing a live wildlife cam like http://www.gadeercam.com. I have a question to ask. From where the camera would be to where I have an internet connection would be 1000-1200 feet across a lake and thru a line of trees. I have a power source near the site. What can you suggest? I am also including a map of the area to give you a better idea.
CCTV Camera Pros provided the following information:
Thank You for contacting CCTV Camera Pros. In order to transmit a video stream wireless through trees, you need to use a 900mhz wireless camera bridge like this one:

If you are using an analog CCTV camera, you need to use an encoder on the teh camera side of the wireless bridge:

and a decoder on the receiving end of the bridge:
