Hey guys, I'm looking for some ideas here. Originally I was wanting to just use a nanostation to shoot from house 1 to house 2 (My house to my old house) to get all cameras on the same network, but I ended up getting my mom some new IP cameras to replace her aging camera system, so I'm thinking about changing everything up.
I know ya'll are jealous of my pic editing skills, and if ya'll are nice I might consider teaching you! lmao This pic is old, google maps doesn't update around here, but there is nothing but one small building on the block to the north of house 2 anymore.
Anyway, I live in house 1. My old house is house 2. My Grandparents house, now my moms and empty, is house 3, and my mothers house is house 4. I'm thinking about taking my house (1) completely out of the equation with this.
I have 11 cameras to go between my moms house and my grandparents house. Probably about 8 at house 4 and 3 at house 3. I am planning on keeping 3 or 4 cameras at house 2, but setting them up on my moms network so she can monitor/record those cameras.
I have a 16 channel NVR at house 2, and purchased another one from here, but it's taking it's sweet time and strange fedex routes to get here. I plan on using this (or one of them) NVR at moms house. Wiring her property will be easy peasy, and I have 2 Ubiquiti Nanostation Loco M2's and 3 Loco M5's that I can use for everything else. What doesn't get used for this install I will find other uses for.
Since these 2 "off premises" houses are on either side of the "main house" I'm assuming I'd have hell getting the 3 M5's to talk to each other using a point to multipoint approach, So I'm thinking my best bet may be to use one pair of nanostations from house 4 to house 2, then a second pair from house 3 to 4. I'm not too familiar with these nanostations so I want to be sure about the best way to hook these up before attempting to do so. There shouldn't be a ton of interference in the area. She has a wireless router broadcasting on 2.4 Ghz and we have a local Wisp broadcasting to her house on what I'm assuming is 5 Ghz. No other wireless signals within at least several hundred feet.
House 2 has a 4MP PTZ camera I'll probably leave, along with maybe 2 - 4k cameras and one 5442 camera. I'm hoping the nanostations won't struggle with that? The rest of my cameras will probably come out here. I can bring the PTZ also if ya'll think it will struggle over a wireless link.
Mom does have quite a few outbuildings in back with power and will have cameras there. I can run the nanostation to there and cable to her house, or do a nanostation link all the way to her house, so the wireless link can range from 35-150 feet, however would be best. The Cat 5 from the house to outbuildings won't be preferable, but will hopefully hold up running overhead for about 100' attached to a wire leading from her house to the buildings outside. The wire is already in place, and her current camera's (analog) run that route. I know it's not preferable, but it's what I'm dealing with and since I have thousands of feet of Cat 5E, I'm at least going to try it, unless the pro's here think I'd be better off with 2 M5's in back that close together, both shooting a link to a third on the house.
I'm sure I'm leaving out a ton of info, and I will gladly answer any questions. I'm just looking for some feedback from those more knowledgeable than me
