WiFi bridge

Possibly not the correct forum but, I'm after getting a ptz cameras in my calving pens in the cow building, it is about 40-50 metres from the farmhouse but the actual calving pens are at the far side another 20 metres or so inside the steel framed building. Has anyone any advice on what bridging units might work over that distance?

I'm thinking that a unit with a sender at the house end and receiver/repeater unit at the building end with wifi ptz at the calving pen would work but I'm not sure what sort to be looking for.

I've also been looking at a 4g camera but I only need it for 3 months of the year so I'm not sure I could get a SIM that I wouldn't be paying for year round but still be value for money for only using the Internet would be worth it or not.

50m extension cord with a power line wifi adapter.... might work if the cable isnt going to be in the way.
The problem is its across the main farm entrance and all of the concrete yard, otherwise I'd just dig a cable in. Did try a booster but it didn't get the Internet to the building, it gave a signal like it was but my phone couldn't find a WiFi connection.

We have a bridge 500 m to farm buildings for WiFi and also one on other farm for cameras over 35 m with no issues what so ever.

The main house wifi Is plugged into the box on the side of house that sends signal to the workshop and then the TP link is plugged into a spare port on that camera control panel allowing wireless internet across the yard
