I'm so dumb on this, I don't even know if the question makes sense!
Anyway, I'd like to extend my USB1.1 webcam so it will run outside the house (telescope) and receive video on my PeeCee (Win98SE/PII400) about 20+ metres away.
I understand that USB will not operate properly beyond six or seven metres. Mine runs OK with a 5m extension, but not more. I've read that 'repeater' cables are a waste of time.
I read that an ethernet system can be set up to transfer the signals from the USB webcam. So, in the simplest possible terms, what do I need?
Cheers,
JaX
