I'm not sure if this complies with the rules stated, but here's what I want to set up.
I want to be able to monitor stock watering systems (resevoirs, and pump outlets) from a central point up to about 4 miles distant. I need visual surveilance powered by solar panels (remote sites) relayed to a notebook by radio waves or a similar system. The terrain is conducive to a repeater (if needed) having a hill (about 150m high average) running perpendicular on the boundary of the property. I need to know what is possible in this scenario, and not.(technology-wise)
The limitations are;
no avilable e-power source at remote sites, exposed to elements, need to be secured from indiginous species of destructive wildlife, and weather, and cannot be networked with cabling; line of sight broken at the extremity of the proposed property, and lastly but most detrimentally, the property is in Africa.(sourcing materials)
The PRO's are;
The terrain between the central point and the hill is relatively flat, e-power availble at central point, and a good line of sight to the far range of hill/s.
I'd appreciate
suggestions on what type of systems are available to accomplish this task, and if it is at all possible to get a picture of multiple sites onto a laptop for ease of monitoring the state of these watering points. (through an internet connection to a remote notebook from central point??)
The detailed co-ordinates of this project I can post, just as soon as I've plotted the dang things, but we can start with these.
Center:S33 05.434 E25 44.661
Resevoir 1:S33 07.900 E25 46.840
Resevoir 2:S33 07.893 E25 44.850
Resevoir 3:S33 07.630 E25 44.846
Resevoir 4:S33 07.375 E25 46.201
Pump:S33 06.707 E25 46.004
Much obliged, and here's hoping I don't get scrubbed off this "tech site"
