I've had pretty good luck running 5-6 wireless 2.4 ghz outdoor cameras. But all of a sudden after 4-5 years seems like things are going to "HE double L" in a wicker basker. Because I have 3 foscam cameras down the hill about 100' making a single cat5 run down there nearly impossible, whats the opinions on putting a small switch down there and run short 7' cables from 3 of my cams to the switch, then hook that switch up to a small "pocket" router. I'm sitting here thinking about how to pass the stream off to my LAN / VLAN (no internet access) at the house. Obviously the router would have a Gateway address of an ip on the LAN, but I can't wrap my head around the "physical link" yet. Another router on the LAN with a static address that would match the Gateway address? They it's Gateway address being an IP on the physical LAN network? Possible? Issues? (PS. After 45 years of no issues with neighbors who are tech savy, I now have some new ones in a house about 400' away. They just had a fiber drop added so I'm wondering if they are now using wireless which is creating some issues for my outdoors cameras? I do see three new SSID's - could still pose a threat to my thinking, but 1 stream would be better than 3 ).
