Re: Any recommendations to convert a usb based HD webcam wireless ?

[Tim Hawes <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you got a Cat5 cable behind the TV? If so you could try one of
these:

(just the first hit on a search for "USB over cat5" - no specific
recommendation :)  )

I've been meaning to get a couple to move my HTPC wireless keyboard
receiver
a bit closer and to also extend the USB connections from my PS3.

If you haven't yet got a spare cat5 cable, could you pull one? Even a
wireless camera will need power...

HTH,

Tim.
