    Wooded campground -- 3 cam zones connected via bridges to Starlink

    Well the project keeps evolving..... the latest iteration --- if it's feasible --- is to link the two remote zones together via wireless bridge, then add a second bridge to bring the camera feeds from BOTH remote zones down to a boundary fence, and run Cat6 along that boundary fence back to the...

    Wooded campground -- 3 cam zones connected via bridges to Starlink

    Wow, quite eye-opening indeed. Just when I thought a 4K cam would give me significantly better detail than a 2K, you've just thrown that out the window. But maybe it did need to be thrown out, to tell the truth. I did read up at the start of this project about DORI but had not circled back yet...

    Wooded campground -- 3 cam zones connected via bridges to Starlink

    Just for spits n giggles, I might go ahead and set up one of the unused B400 cams outside the office to see what image quality they give at night. So if not Reolink, what brand would you suggest? I have a $2500--$3000 budget for everything so having some unboxed brand new hardware sure helps the...

    Wooded campground -- 3 cam zones connected via bridges to Starlink

    So you're suggesting using the Ubiquiti bridge just for the E-->C stretch, or E-->A stretch? Is this a viable option if I don't have a power supply at pole/tree C (and pole/tree B if going all the way back to A)? Kinda liking the idea of the hardwire both for ease of installation and for lack of...

    Wooded campground -- 3 cam zones connected via bridges to Starlink

    Thanks Tony! Hmmm, never heard of messenger wire before. So this changes things up. Yes, clear LOS between C and E. So you're thinking a Cat6 + messenger for the long run feeds back to the store/office (A)? Zone D to home base A : Multiple PoE cams --> direct wired --> 8 port PoE switch -->...

    Wooded campground -- 3 cam zones connected via bridges to Starlink

    A to B = 200 feet B to C = 300 feet C to D = 180 feet C to E = 400 feet I was really steering away from hardwiring the links because below ground are the roots of 100 trees (even along the roadways some are flush with the hard-packed gravel) so even dragging a heavy toe for a 6" deep trench...

    Wooded campground -- 3 cam zones connected via bridges to Starlink

    There are trees that I could mount the hardware on, so I don't need to use the power poles. Thank you for pointing that out.

    Wooded campground -- 3 cam zones connected via bridges to Starlink

    Sorry for that. Here's a drawing that (hopefully) helps show the layout. Forgive me if I'm not using the correct nomenclature ---- I think each connection between a pair of bridge antennae is called a jump, but I might be wrong. Starting at the bottom left is the camp office, with the start of...

    Wooded campground -- 3 cam zones connected via bridges to Starlink

    Hi all. Need some guidance here please. I've been charged with setting up 3 surveillance zones in a heavily wooded campground --- a "home" zone at the camp store/office, and 2 remote zones monitoring several buildings 500 ft away and 700 feet away respectively. The remotes will have 5 and 6...

    Campground camera system -- design questions (sorry, newbie here)

    Hi all. I'm a maintenance manager at a heavily wooded campground in central NJ. Mgmt has asked me to put together a plan to buy and install security cameras because of vandalism issues. There will be three zones being monitored so three full sets of cameras, wireless router and NVR hardware...
