Hello to everyone! I’m from Argentina (Patagonia) and new to the forum.

I would like to install a NVR Hikvision system. One of the cameras is placed 150m (500ft) away and needs a “Point to Point - P2P” wireless link.

My IP Cameras are POE only (Hikvision DS-2CD1623G0-I). I’m having some doubts as how to connect the remote camera with the wireless link.

This are the products I think I need:
-TP-Link CPE210 has only 1 LAN port: Wireless AP NVR side and connects to a POE Switch.
-Tp-Link CPE220 has 2 LAN ports: Wireless AP Camera side. LAN 1 to power via POE. LAN 2 to camera.
-Camera Hikvision DS-2CD1623G0-I (POE only)
-Poe passive adapter: To power the IP camera.

Can you please help me if this devices could work? Is a switch needed in the camera side? This is how I think it is:

POE Switch --- CPE210----(wireless)---CPE220.
LAN1 of CPE220: ---POE passive adapter (to power de AP)
LAN2 of CPE220: ---POE passive adapter---POE IP Camera.
Both POE passive adapters connect to the power grid.

Best regards,
Peter

Both radios can be CPE-210 with one LAN port, since the camera POE is 802.3af spec and the radio POE is passive 24 VDC; I believe the second LAN port of the CPE-220 will output what comes in on the LAN1 port (24VDC) which cannot be used to power the camera.

On the camera side you'll have 2 power injectors; one is active 802.3af to power the camera and one is passive 24VDC to power the CPE-210. Those 2 power injectors will have their "LAN" ports connected via Ethernet cable.

NVR side:
Switch ---> "LAN" port of 24VDC passive POE injector & "POE" port of 24VDC passive POE injector ---> CPE210 on NVR side​
Camera side:
Camera ---> "POE" port of 802.3af POE injector & "LAN" port of 802.3af POE injector--> "LAN port" of 24VDC passive POE injector & "POE" port of 24VDC passive POE injector --->CPE210 on camera side​

`Personally, I'd go with Ubiquiti radios. FWIW, these links are termed "PtP" (Point to Point) whereas "P2P" (Peer to Peer) is a different animal altogether (generally cloud-based in the IP cam realm).
