Tom12345 0 Posted October 18, 2011 any wifi pros here. gotta set a link up between two buildings. line of sight 500 feet between buildings...nvr in building #1, 4 cameras in building #2. how would you construct the network.... i was thinking bullet2hp @ 2.4ghz at either end with yagi antennas and a switch or router at building #2...building #1 has a router already.... any thoughts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shankarsha 0 Posted October 18, 2011 pretty simple, nano stations with static ip's. MAC address of each to be entered in nano stations vice-versa. set a security key to access from Laptop/Desktop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardwired 0 Posted October 18, 2011 For 500 feet, high gain yagi's are total overkill (and will overload the receiving portion of the radios, even set at lowest power output), use Ubiquiti Nanostation Loco M5's at each side, setup as here http://www.ubnt.com/wiki/How_to_bridge_internet_connections (these directions are for an older generation of product with slightly different menus, but all the general settings are the same). The Nanostations also have 2X2 MIMO capability, (double the throughput capability of the Bullets). Use the 5Ghz products, (much less interference from SOHO routers and WI-FI equipment, and more channel selections), than the 2.4Ghz band. And yes, a PoE switch at building 2. In most cases, you should be able to get at least 60-80Mbps throughput from the link, which should be much more than adequate for all but extremely high resolution cameras and framerates.
