nod Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I installed cctv prior to starting first fix I built a shelf in the loft and sited it up there out of the way I’ve run a cable down to the lounge Which brings the cctv up on the screen My problem is that the wireless mouse I have will not pick up from the downstairs Is there a more powerful wireless mouse or a booster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alphonsox Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 There are various "Remote Mouse" apps available for Smartphones that allow you to control a mouse via WiFi. Would one of these help ? e.g. http://www.remotemouse.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 What "cable" is coming down from the loft? Is it in a duct? Could you run another cable down? Thinking you could run a long USB extension cable with the wireless mouse dongle on the end or dongle on the end of Cat-5 using similar to this. I may have a spare something similar kicking about... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Over-Ethernet-RJ45-Extender-Adapter/dp/B0029HRYBK/ref=mp_s_a_1_6? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have run a duct Instead I left the corner hollow so that I could draw the cable up that links the tv to my box in the loft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alphonsox Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Probably not I think you need to install and run software on the smartphone and on the computer to get it to work. So it will depend what your CCTV box actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
