The standard Nanostation (non-loco) supports a downstream PoE port on the bridge. This would eliminate the need for a PoE switch if you're only running 1 camera at that location. I don't have experience with the current generation, but I have been running a lot of earlier generation...

I am not understanding your topology and your example shows 2x building #3's. Can you clarify that? If you have 3 buildings, are putting a switch in each building, and just need them all to be interconnected, you just need 2 fiber runs. 1 switch will be connected to the other 2. For example...

I am guessing that your local network and remote company network (via VPN) overlap IP address spaces (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, etc.).

It's just capability. As speeds increase, the distance (on multimode) decreases. OM4 is the current standard for high-speed short-range fiber. It is usually used within a building, as opposed to between them. As long as the distances are short enough, though, you can use what you like. I...

If it were me, I would run singlemode (9/125, OS2, direct burial). You can get away with multimode (OM3 or OM4), but you have to be careful with your distances and speeds to make sure you don't exceed the limits. Singlemode is as close to future-proof as connectivity gets right now, and it's a...

You are correct that it becomes a single point of failure, but an enterprise switch is an enormous step up in reliability over anything consumer-level. I would easily put a single Cisco switch over a bunch of Netgear/TP-Link/etc switches. Enterprise switches have active cooling, beefy power...

Those are fantastic switches and will run forever, even in poor conditions. They have more than enough PoE budget for your application, even with the smaller power supplies. The PoE budget varies weather you use the 350W, 715W, or 1100W versions. You won't get an 800W PoE budget without the...

It is intended to run off a standard 16-24VAC doorbell transformer. It cannot be hooked up directly to 120 or 240VAC.
