Fw: [TowerTalk] Protecting Remote Locations

[J.Hector Garcia M]

if your 2.4 ghz don't work , there are others bands that can handle your
video or sensor cotrol. plus the audio or can activate another camera or
device to take photos, activate an alarm.

there are several others ways, there in the repeaters sites use a simple
sensor at the entry of the fence, other alarm detection devices can work,
the heat detector don't work in high temperature,  but there some tecnology
you can use, like ham we have a lot of resources  at hand just  need to ask
and look for the best for you..

i see the atv cameras that work in the 434 mhz range ..
options are , just is to work on it .

good luck.
