Pair of these would do the job.
loads of other options on the market
The one at the shed end could be either set just to be a bridge with a cable to a wifi access point nearer the camera or bridge & give a wifi signal. Or you could have a cable from the bridge unit to the camera All depends on your layout

40 meters is not that far. Is the camera a wifi camera? It would seem to me that if it is a wifi camera then it should be able to pull a signal from 40 meters away. I like the WYZE cameras.

We have just installed a 400 metre line of sight Engenius bridge bought through Solwise - The guys on the phones are very, very patient and extremely knowledgeable.

Aye, if it`s a wifi camera 1 unit on the outside of the house, set to give a wifi signal would do it. We have an Engenius 202 to give wifi across the yard & the signal is good for 150m away
TP-Link CPE210 Pharos Outdoor 2.4Ghz 9dBi WiFi 4 PoE Access Point (300Mbps N)
Two of these, they will either preconfigure them if you wish, or you can do that but yourself.
I fitted one on my house, one on my grainstore , put an old router in there, now got 30mbps broadband there.
Shopping list.
A pair of ptp bridge units.(running mine on the poe injector it came with)
A pair of mounts.
A router.
Ethernet cable to plug router in to the ptp.
You also need a cable from Poe injector in the barn to the router if that's how you wish to do it. Or plug the camera straight into the injector ethernet port to save the router, but while you're at it you may as well set up the WiFi there.
Couple hundred quid all in.

First year I did it, used the basic BT router wedged in kitchen window facing shed, £30 WiFi camera off Amazon, worked well, camera did not last to a second season though. Had camera in two positions, furthest was about 60m

Engenius 202 settings show option of 1 to 30km
Unless you live on top of a mountain getting 30 km clear line of sight might be a problem
It will.do up to 15km apparently, if configured appropriately.
Mines set for about 60m if memory serves.

That only works if both ends are on the same phase - Often different buildings take their power from different phases of a 3 phase supply to help balance the loading....You could get lucky though and it would be worth a try.
Unfortunately the house is on a separate supply!
Thanks to everyone else for the ideas!

Do you have power in the shed? You could run cat5 cable from your router. Can buy box's of 300meters for 50 or 60 quid.

Not generally recommended to run Cat5 more than 100m

Even with a WiFi bridge you need power at both ends for the PoE.
