okay folks. i finally have got my issue fixed.  i tried different channels, got a wifi extender and it just didnt help.  i even did an extension cord for the extender so i was a matter of feet away from my outside cameras.

so today i just did an extension cord and now i'm projecting it through the glass in my front window.

now next time kids slash everyone's tires, i will have crystal clear pictures of it instead of a pit pixilation.   that's what happened to 2 streets last monday night.  my car needed new tires anyways, but not this way.  and they got the good ones.
