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.
