[WISPA] Wireless Cameras and wireless network.
I have a client that is wanting CCTV cameras to cover a large marina. Some of the places they want cameras are close to a 1/2 mile away. Has anyone used wireless cameras and a wireless network to accomplish something like this? I am thinking along the lines of using Ubiquiti Equipment in 2.4Ghz. I assume I need to get wireless IP camera's instead of the regular wireless cctv camera's that have their own sender and transmitter? Anyone have any ideas? I think most CCTV cable has around a 1000ft limitation. They want the camera's coming back to one office, but this is going to have to require going across water and land and up to distances of 1/2 mile. Scottie Arnett Info-Ed, Inc. WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Wireless Cameras and wireless network.
Most cameras with wireless built in are crap. I think you are right ubnt wireless with IP cameras.

Like the other poster said, most cams with built in wireless aren't so hot. Lots of cams with little 3db omnis and no polling won't work so well. What I have done with good success is used standard IP/Ethernet cams, and connected them to Ubnt or MT radios with panels, and built a small ptmp network. Depending on the size, you can also build a ring, latency isn't an issue, as long as there is sufficient bandwidth. WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Wireless Cameras and wireless network.
Scottie, This is not an issue but I would not use 2.4 GHz. You need to consider marina WiFi. If you have LOS use 5 Ghz. It will handle 1/2 mile with no issues and the water won't be an issue unless the radios fall into the water. You can use standard CCTV analog cameras but will need an encoder and a decoder. You will probably find it is cheaper to do IP based cameras such as Axis. Keeping in mind that is you want to record the video at the office site you will need a network video recorder (NVR) which is more money than a standard DVR. This is easy. Just comes down to LOS and $$. -B- On 3/8/2011 3:49 PM, Scottie Arnett wrote: I have a client that is wanting CCTV cameras to cover a large marina.

Re: [WISPA] Wireless Cameras and wireless network.
On ip cameras pick the H264 ones. They use 1/3 the bandwidth of mpeg cameras and the video quality is better.

Re: [WISPA] Wireless Cameras and wireless network.
I have one or two docks that I can not get LOS too. The rest I can get LOS. They do want this recorded, so I will need to look into the network video recorder. I am trying to use a system they already have that is all wired around the office and integrate the far off sites with wireless. They do have a 2.4 marina wi-fi system in place, but it is not their own, it is one of those we will give you $xx/mth off what it generates. So that part may be fun to deal with on interference, 5.8 may be the better idea. Scottie On ip cameras pick the H264 ones. They use 1/3 the bandwidth of mpeg cameras and the video quality is better.

Re: [WISPA] Wireless Cameras and wireless network.
I have a lot of sources for ip cameras. Most all have the nvr software included. You just need the computer.
