how to connect a camera and intercom at my entry gate which is 260' away from my house.

People ,

my entrance gate into my property is  260' away from my house.  i would like to  install a camera/ intercom  combination unit or a separate camera and  intercom out by my gate.  i do have power  near  the gate.  i do not have any conductors  or  wiring  run between  my house  and  the gate. 

can anyone give me  suggestions  as to what i can install , what products etc. 

thank you.

    260ft is quite a ways.

    Powerline *might* make it if you can get the 2 devices on the same circuit. 

    Wifi is going to struggle as most deivces max disance is 300ft outdoors and thats under optimal conditions. You're under that but you're wanting video and intercom. 

    Potentially you could set up a point to point system. It uses a directional antenna and can go significantly further than standard wireless. I don't think netgear has a point-point system. Basically go to amazon and search point to point wireless bridge

    That might be ideal for you.
