Max cameras over wireless bridges

[Mickygeorgewood]

Hi all

looking for advice on the amount of cameras i can send back to an NVR over a wireless bridge. It's all Dahua kit. Currently I have 4 cameras and PTZ on each mast, Cameras are 5mp and the PTZ 2mp. Some AI camera and by recorder. I have them all dumbed down to 1080p and 720p and 15fps. The video is getting through but is very clunky and is missing chunks here and there.

Kit as Below.

AI64ChannelNVR12TB:
NVR5864-I-12T

5GHzAC86720dBiOutdoorWirelessCPE:
PFWB5-10AC

IP2.0MpMiniStarlight25xZoomIR150M:

any help greatly appreciated.

If that's an access point of WiFi extender it won't give very good results at all. WiFi was never meant to handle the constant bit rate that streaming surveillance video requires. It can stream a movie but only because movie streaming uses buffering.

I'm using a Ubiquity Nano Station Loco M5 setup. It will easily handle four, or more, 4MP cameras at full bit rates. I'd guess it will actually handle eight to be honest, but that's speculation. No dropouts and it is encrypted to boot.

It looks like that links back to your WiFi. Correct?

I have one of these on the mast and another on the building where the NVR is kept.

Then, it should easily work. Have a look at the channel bandwidth setting and, I assume, that you've aligned the antennas properly. What is the distance involved?
