Can anyone recommend a far reaching baby monitor?

Ours is a Eufy that has a range of 460ft coverage area and loses signal just as we go out onto our deck. When the weather gets warmer, I want to be able to do some gardening while DS naps so was wondering if there's a way to boost the signal, get a better monitor or if there's a phone app or something that works on wifi?

Can anyone recommend anything?

We had something over the WiFi. Two phones or a phone and an ipad. It was called Baby Monitor.

I have a friend who lives on a vast country estate (so think big house and like 200 acres). They bought a set of walkie talkies, which had a super long range. I have also known friends to use an iphone/ipad with facetime as a video monitor. Obviously that's annoying though if you actually need your phone during that time (unless you have a spare). We have a Tomy one (ordinary sound only basic one) and that used to stretch down the lane to the garage which at the time was probably a 100-150 metres or so.

Also, I used to sometimes just turn ours up really loud and leave it in the door, so it was connected to the base, but I could hear if there was any noise.

Also use Baby Monitor but not on WiFi or using phones etc. Cost £100 on Amazon but great video, two-way speaker and no problem with range 100m.
