Cheap, rust-proof mounts (shorten the 8" long vertical piece to suit the shorter Loco):

You can purchase the loco's pre-configured if need be.

Sorry, was just thinking, how do I power the one in the garage? Do I have to order a ac adapter?

 

[Ffmike]

Thanks looney. Where can you buy one pre configured?

I didn't see there was a page 2 lol. Sorry this stuff is beyond me. So do I have to order 2 "injectors"?

On a real computer, read the listing description closely.
I highly suggest you make this a learning opportunity for your son. Instead of you doing all the work, let him do it with supervision.

I'm out of town currently so I don't have access to a pc, but I am definitely making my son do most of the work. We mounted the cam up together (which he was terrified going up the 20 ft ladder) and we set up obs and YouTube live together. I just want to make sure I order everything so when I get home I can hook it up "real quick". So do I need to order anything more than the pre configured kits? My biggest question is how I power up the unit in the garage. I see in the schematic injector switches and "switch 1". Since I only have one camera do I need the "switch 1".

 

[sebastiantombs]

The kit should come with power injectors for both ends.

Thank you. I'll update when I get home and hopefully get everything working. I really appreciate everyone's help. What a great community!!!

No, that is "Switch" with a NOTE 1 which states in the NOTES toward the bottom at (1): "Eliminate switch if only 1 camera."

More info:

Based on reviews from amazon, some vendors don't tell the end user much about how/where to mount the pre-configured units.
Hopefully they are labelled and if so, please look at my schematic again in post #22 above:
In the home on your LAN install the unit configured as "AP/BRIDGE" (Access Point / Bridge) and at the remote site / garage install the unit configured as "STATION/BRG" (Station / Bridge).

I got the Ubiquity's set up, the pre configured was literally plug and play so that was awesome. It does seem less choppy and I'm very happy with the result. Thank you guys for all the help.

Glad it worked out for you! Enjoy!!!
