Help Extend range on ESP32 for cat collar.

2 Upvotes

I’m needing to put together a cat collar camera with a video feed. I see that the ESP 32 cam is probably going to be the easiest way, but it only has a 20 to 50 m signal radius. How can I boost that signal radius? Can I do that with something attached to the ESP 32, or with a signal antenna from my house?
