Hi
We have been using some cameras which offer for not much a WiFi version (Hint Hk.. :) ) . They work well with a basic home router. Checked the throughput on most scenes, the cameras weren’t streaming at much more than 2 Mb/s. In that view 15~20 cameras on an AP should work. This seems eminently sustainable with many APs both commercial and home based.
Has anyone used Wifi cameras in a commercial set-up? We are interested to do so and would like to know of other integrators previous experiences. There seems to be a serious savings in cabling (Simple 2-wire cables), Re-use of CCTV Camera Power supplies such as Altronix, Smaller PoE count on the switches, Looks like a great solution. What would be the caveats?
Thanks in advance
