The router being used as an ethernet bridge presently [WNDR4500, I pick
models compatible with the Tomato version of dd-wrt] has internal antennas
and no connectors. The new arrangement will be using two ASUSRT-N66 routers
with three "rubber ducks." Hopefully that will provide slightly better
performance, although now the signal is about 18db above the noise floor
and works acceptably. I would like just a bit more margin if I can get it,
without additional antennas, the distance is only about 40 or 50 yards but
with intervening walls.
The two cameras I just bought were Foscam C1, I found yesterday that
Foscam US quit their relationship, and now I am trying to get tech support
from Taiwan I believe? I'll see what messages come back next week, their
user information is generally quite good, if you are a Windows customer,
unfortunately I haven't been able to get access to a Windows computer, this
family is all Apple stuff and I run Fedora Linux. The cameras run on some
kind of Linux, there must be a way to do what I need ...

Sounds like your situation would benefit from a pair of semi-directional
antennas. Back before we moved I had an Ubiquiti out in the barn as
'chicken-overwatch' but now I use the same one to upload static images to
Wunderground via a cron ftp job on an Ubuntu vm.
Like my ubiquiti cam you *might* have luck browsing the cameras file
structure. I.e. Im able to ssh into my camera and pull those static images
from a specific dir.. from what I read other models you could pull streams
via VLC and write them to a video file locally.
