Best Way Install IP Cameras Wirelessly (200 Ft)
I have an upcoming project that will require me to install two 1.3mp cameras roughly 200 ft away from the NVR. Hardwiring is impossible. Power is already where it needs to be. I want to create a stable connection that will not require me to roll a service truck every other week.
I'm thinking of using a LUS XAP-1050 wireless bridge with POE.
Any advice or things to watch out for...
Do you have anything in the way / in between the camera and the building? Trees? Parked trucks? Hills? etc. What's the terrain?
Btw, have you used Luxul before? Their XAP-1050 bridge shows an online price of almost $1000. That's pretty expensive for a 200 foot 2 camera link.
Among security integrators survey, Ubiquiti is the most common choice, especially for a ptp link. They are a fraction of the cost of the XAP-1050. See: Ubiquiti Wireless Surveillance Review
I'm browsing the Ubiquiti website. They have a ton of products. What exactly do you recommend for this type of project?
Thanks
Is their a certain brand of IP camera that works better with wireless setups? I have a test system setup at my home that I have been trying different types of non hardwired camera setups on. I have tried cameras with wifi built in. I have tried plugging the camera into access points. I have tried powerline adapters. I have not been able to find a solution that didnt loose video feed at the NVR at least a few times a day.
Any advice...
