So we have a camera that we use to monitor inside the house/ front door. Were looking to add a fleet of wyze cameras and i really want one to monitor our horses inside the barn. I added an extended, so we have range however we dont get any service inside the barn due to the tin siding. If necessary …

In theory, something like this might work. https://smile.amazon.com/TP-Link-AV600-Powerline-WiFi-Extender/dp/B00HSQAIQU Basically takes the internet signal and routes it through the powerline and then back out to an AP on the other end. I say in theory, because I’ve never tried it.

The theory works:-) I use similar power line adapters to transport wired camera traffic from my garage (not Wyze cams). The key issue to watch for is that the two PLC devices need to plugged in to 110VAC outlets that are on the same power phase. The OP may not have any choice out in the barn - the…

Redneck antenna solution, Just run a hunk of insulated wire outside the building and then to the camera. Strip off insulation from the last foot or so. Duct tape to camera. Probably will get enough signal to work,

I’ve successfully used this one tp-link wifi extender with my Wyze cameras that are in a detached building about 40 meters away///while the throughput is low (less than 10fps/100kb/s) it has been reliable.

Something like that might work as a relay if the tin building has some unobstructed area like a window that could be put in via an extension cord. Metal and brick are troublesome for wifi only cameras.

Inexpensively, try using a small aluminum. tin or steel reflector behind the camera or in the direction you want to aim the radio signal, I recommend 3 sides and 2 bends in the metal to form a baseball backstop looking reflector. A flat sheet of thin metal about (7.5 cm) 3 inches tall and about (23 …

I will have to try that! So i have a wifi extender in the house, at the closest outlet to the barn. This one: [image] Amazon.com: NETGEAR Wi-Fi Range Extender EX3700 - Coverage Up to 1000 Sq Ft and... NETGEAR AC750 WiFi Range Extender (EX3700-100NAS). System Requirements:2.4 and/or 5GHz,…

@maggie.lacy This might sound anti-intuitive, but you could try putting your Netgear extender out in the barn and see if it connects. It has dual antennae, and might be sensitive enough to pick up the WiFi signal that is broadcast from the WiFi router in the house. If so, it will then re-transmit t…

It took me about an hour to find the sweet spot To get a good signal From my camera I set up in my pole barn, That spot ended up being right in front of The wooden door casing for my walk in door , It’s been working good ever since. If you put it by a window in might work too, I didn’t try that be…

Yes, our power lines are run underground out to our pole barns. I will have to try the extender out in the barn. Unfortunately we do live in a rural area with only 1 internet option that is not that great on top of things
