Hey all,

How can I attach a usb camera to a pc wirelessly? I have a usb camera attached to a pc - however the camera is 20 feet from the pc. (it's for a laser shooting simulation) I've been using a 20 foot active usb extension cable which works most of the time, but occasionally either the game software or Windows XP won't recognize the camera and I have to physically unplug the USB cable and reinstall the camera driver to get it to work again. I assume it's the cable because I've moved the camera near the pc and let it run for weeks with no problem. I want to connect the camera wirelessly since I buried the cable in the floor and it's no easy task to replace.

Thanks for any suggestions.
