The thing most important about a setup such as this is that you have to
UNDERSTAND "Line of sight"... If you can't see it, it wont work. If
there is ANYTHING in the way it degrades the signal. The pool camera
would probably be no problem at all... the playground camera **MIGHT**
work under ideal conditions, but who wants to gamble on the safety of
their kids... A small amplifier at the camera would give you more
'insurance'.
