FPV snow shovel(need better options)

My RC snow shovel uses FPV format, I'm using IP cameras(5),
wifi router, for video and audio feedback, my RC (900Mhz) controller
can reach 1000ft but my wifi video/audio can only reach 500ft.

I was hoping for a better option.

look at 5.8ghz transmitters and receivers. No latency readymaderc.com
Some of this stuff transmitts several miles. Not cheap. I have HiDef video on my quad copters.

The entry-level license, known as Technician Class, is awarded after an applicant successfully completes a 35-question written examination.
