We connect the Access Point to our router or switch to which the NVR is also connected.Īt the Station AP, we can connect one camera directly to the radio, or mutliple cameras to the radio by using a switch in between. Connecting a IP Camera System to Access PointsĪt the Access Point Side, our setup is geared toward making it possible for the NVR recorder to communicate wirelessly to the cameras located on the Station AP. Once the two radios are talking to each other, you have a PTP (Point to Point) wireless link. The other radio is configured as a Station AP that acts as a receiver station or client on the wireless network. One radio is configured as the Access Point, which sends the WiFi signal that is discoverable as a SSID or available wireless network. Each of these units has a WiFi radio and a high gain antenna which makes these units powerful enough for a mile or more of line of sight wireless transmission. Although in our case we are using 2.4GHz models, this setup can be done with 5.8GHz models as well. We will use two wireless access points to connect to each other to create a point-to-point WiFi connection. It is important to understand how all this works. Up to 600ft Range (clear line of sight) when used with WiFi cameras with integrated radio.Great for indoor applications where space is limited.
