We have 4 cameras in our old barn for calving. Bought many years ago - cheap, wireless, but barn is in 100 ft range. (receiver & 1 camera was about $150 and each additional cameras were $100 each - which we purchased as gifts over a few years).
We built a new arch steel building & using both barns for calving. Been looking for a camera system for new barn, which is 280' from house. Finally found what I wanted from Sportsmansguide. Receiver & 2 cameras, $120. Security Man brand.
I called the Security Man direct & talked to a sales rep. Explained my situation, and he said it would go 330' clear view - no obstructions, but would only go 100' thru buildings. Said I couldn't purchase one & send it back if not happy with results.
So, I figured Sportsmanguide would take back anything, so I ordered it & tried it. I "assumed" it wouldn't work THROUGH the steel building, so we set up both cameras in the door opening, leaving the sliding door open about 8", and put the receiver in our bedroom, upstairs. Works like a charm!!! :banana: :banana:
I'm a happy camper!
Just thought I would share this info because we had a thread about this some time ago and others were looking for a system to use. Security Man tried to sell me a different system that was getting up towards $1000. Not for me!
