Actually knowing the topology is important. So that should work as you described it. I envisioned 8 independent transceivers. Using 2 or 3 nano's as bridges with a few cams on each one should be fine. I am actually doing that with 2 nanostations one on 5ghz the other on 2ghz and each has a poe switch connected to 4 cams. This works really well although I am in a rural environment as well and there is no competition for freqs.
Here's a recent example of what we're talking about when we say wifi sucks for cameras: Amcrest 841's on Blue Iris suffer bandwidth
@NoloC This entire thread has been a learning experience for me. My original idea was to drop AP's where I need them. Add WiFi cams and then air bridge it all back to the source. About 7 posts up I was pretty much convinced that WiFi cams are not the way to go. This is a wonderful thing because I have not purchased any equipment yet and reached that point of no return only to learn things the hard way. It's why I came here in the first place as well.
I've always known I can route my data without wires. I just had to rethink how I make that happen since I am no longer short cutting with WiFi cams in the mix.

Sorry! Been nursing the flu in a recliner the last few hours.
