I want to get a CT clamp signal across a concrete yard. I cannot have an overhead cable, and going underground will be very expensive. Both ends will be in range of a good WiFi signal, both on the same outdoor access point. How can this be done ?

Hi all.
I have just set up a WiFi CCTV camera (SimShine Alloy 1S) which appears to be working as it should - very good image and sound quality, and a number of options on 'AI' detection, which also seem to work well.
My only issue, really, is that it uses an 'App', which basically means I'm...
