I have a rather long driveway and would like to view vehicles as they approach. Driveway is about 2400 ft. Currently I have a wireless sensor set at the end of the drive and am notified as a vehicle passes, but don't have any way to view.
There's a pole about 1000' from the house and this is where I'd like to mount a camera. At this point there is not power or wifi at the pole. I do have multiple pairs of 22 ga. wire running there but that's it. I have direct line of sight from the house to about 600', then it goes down hill and through some thick woods. I'm not concerned about recording the camera but rather would like to be able to pull up a live shot on my phone when I'm alerted by the sensor.
Is this doable? I was thinking about using a wireless bridge to the 600' location then wire the camera from there. The 22 ga. I don't think will carry enough current, but was wondering if it's possible to tie two of the 22ga wires together to provide power? Looked into a solar setup but that seems like a lot of extra hoops to jump through.
I've been researching this on various websites, but just can't determine if I can make it work. Suggestions would be appreciated?
