    POE/Ptp Setup

    FWIW, that would be PtMP or Point to Multi Point such as this: https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/205197610-airMAX-Guide-to-Configure-a-Point-to-Multipoint-PtMP-ISP-Style-Access-Point And consider the Ubiquiti AirMax LiteBeam 5AC for 450+ Mbps throughput and gigabit Ethernet interface.

    +1 on all the above regarding Ubiquiti. A Point-to-Point (PtP) is only slightly different as compared with a Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) and depends mostly only the antenna angle of the "Home" AP (Access Point), as the 2 STATIONS ("Shop" and "Barn') will be pointed toward the AP. Here's 2 links...

    Security cameras across wifi.

    A little more info on the above schema and why it works better than "Wi-Fi". When properly configured, the radios communicate with each other using proprietary protocol and a frequency width that optimizes throughput, increases range and minimizes interference. Your everyday 2.4GHz and 5Ghz...

    New here. Wanting to add cameras to my property, recommendations?

    And this is why I call you are resident expert LOL. You have first-hand real experience with at least 3 different options for RF type connections!

    New here. Wanting to add cameras to my property, recommendations?

    I asked to insure there's power for these radios. If there is Line Of Sight (LOS) between the 2 points to be spanned I'd go with a Ubiquiti Layer 2 Transparent Bridge ==>> airMAX - Guide to Configure a Point-to-Point Link (Layer 2, Transparent Bridge) You can also go PtMP (Point to Multi-Point)...

    Streaming outdoor cam via wifi -- where do I start?

    Very good to know, thanks! I'll make sure to verify that befor purchasing anything. Thanks again, for advising against that brand -- I was just using them as an example, but your advice comes in handy. As for the bridge thing, sorry, you lost me. I assume the parts you recommend are to...

    Streaming outdoor cam via wifi -- where do I start?

    Many wireless cams use a wired connection as above to set up the cam's wireless to "look for" and log onto your residence's SSID (the broadcast name of the wireless) and once done, you disconnect the Ethernet. The mistakes would be to : 1) Buy and try to use about anything made by the...

    Low cost wireless bridge?

    I'm a big Ubiquiti fan since 2012 and have installed a dozen bridges with NS2 and 5's and Loco2 and 5's and one bridge with 2.4GHz AC versions...all rock solid. But I've bought and installed equally as many TP-LINK switches and ceiling AP's that have performed well. So if I had to have a PtP...

    Installation advice - Remote site, PoE long run + hardware.

    +1^^. If LOS ( Line Of Sight) is good, I also suggest a Ubiquiti Layer 2 Transparent Bridge or a Ubiquiti Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) ISP-Style Access Point. The choice between the 2 types is dependent upon its application, layout, etc.

    PoE Camera Camera Switch

    Thanks for all the assistance. I will get a second CPE210 for test/practice purposes since they are reasonably priced. There are trees on the property but line of sight between locations is pretty good. VHF radios work well between house, shop and barn. If successful with the CPE210's I...

    PoE Camera Camera Switch

    Your experiment using your CPE210 won't be very revealing unless you use TWO, one at each end, of the bridge to operate as the Layer 2 Transparent bridge. When done properly, it operates as it were a CAT-5 cable regarding data, only the voltage for POE is not available. I would not consider...

    PoE Camera Camera Switch

    I looked at the references provided and searched the radios. I also did a search on “TP-Link Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP)” and a TP-Link CPE210 came up in the listing. I happen to have one of these that I have never used. I could set it up as an experiment and connect 8-10 cameras (via Cat-5)...

    PoE Camera Camera Switch

    +1^^. Not sure how lightning is is MO but running metallic cable between 2 or more outdoor buildings is an invitation to damage and problems. I would avoid in AL, GA, FL, TN, MS and more. Also, the advantages offered, in spite of additional expense, by quality, made-for-purpose Ubiquiti or...

    PoE Camera Camera Switch

    Sounds like I will be digging trenches and burying cat-5. Hub is for laptop to view cameras while in shelter. Can eliminate hub when I get 16 port PoE switch. My current PoE switch does not have enough ports to attach laptop.

    Dahua nvr network problem

    I've only worked with Engenius radios ('06 to '10) and now Ubiquiti ('10 to present day) and there are configuration considerations that must be implemented depending on the schema you're using such as PtP (Point to Point) and PtMP (Point to Multi-Point), also how each radio is used, such as AP...

    Installing cameras far from the home on outbuildings

    I use Ubiquiti Nanostation 5ac Loco’s to do exactly what you are wanting. They are cheap($49 ea),plenty fast and extremely reliable for any line of site link within 5-6 miles. Configure 1 as AP on your house in PtMP mode and the rest as stations

    Ubiquity Bridges P 2 P 2 P

    My advice is don't buy preconfigured units. Ubiquiti radio bridges are easier to set up than IP cameras because they don't require any browser plugins or figuring out unpublished RTSP URLs or similar nonsense. The procedure for setting up a bridge using ubiquiti radios is very well documented...

    Best way to setup entrance cameras for 5 seperate buildings?

    +1^^ regarding Ubiquiti NanoStation variants. Assuming LOS (Line of Sight) is as good as it appears and that the building at upper left is where the NVR is, you could place there one radio with an omni-directional antenna on the corner or roof that can "see" the other buildings, at those other...

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-K2/8P NVR with cameras connected via Ubiquity wireless bridge

    @Jer-Bear , I'm a big fan of Ubiquiti and in the PtMP mode to several buildings or PtP mode to one building, they will work great for you. I have used their Nanonstations to build several Layer 2 Transparent Bridges connecting home LANs to shops and barns in the last 6 or 7 years. Just be...

    Horse farm. Multiple buildings

    You don't need Internet to use the UBNT's as Layer 2 Transparent Bridges. If configured as stated, you essentially have a CAT-5e cable running from point to point. Then there's also PtMP (Point to Multi-point). Internet would only be needed for remote access (no access to the LAN). The NVR or a...

    Dahua Ethernet ip camera convert to wireless

    Thanks for the link. I'm not sure I see how that'll work though. My understandimg is that it's a router with a 3g modem in it. So it won't out my camera on the same network as the other fixed wired cameras I have already. I was looking at these but as mentioned above, getting the power into the...

    Need help picking out Equipment for remote Location- Needs to boot back up easily

    I recommend the AirMAX AC line of Ubiquiti because of the bandwidth requirements of 6 IP cameras. The AirMAX "AC" line of radios provide Gigabit Ethernet and the Gen 2 radios are geared for PtMP. Suggestion at each camera: Ubiquiti Networks NBE-5AC-GEN2-US, 5GHz NanoBeam ac Gen2 19dBi US...

    Security Camera Questions

    ...at the polls then it wouldn't be too hard to set up a camera with a Ubiquiti WiFi bridge to connect it back to the shop. Search for "Ubiquiti ptmp" under my name for some good examples. That way you can use any appropriate wired camera and the bridge will be as reliable as you can get without...
