Extended network requirements using Ubiquiti Nanostation P2P airbridge. Can it conenct?

1024kb — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 15:46:39 GMT

I have 3 Arlo Pro 2 cameras around the farmhouse & a workshop 300m down the driveway that I want to add to the surveillance setup.

To get WiFi to the workshop I'm thinking a Ubiquiti Nanostation P2P airbridge with the workshop cameras connecting to this. I'm not locked to Ubiquiti, is there a Netgear product specifically for this purpose?

Are the workshop cameras going to be recognised by my Base Station? Or is there some further component that would be needed?

Appreciate your advice before I go spending. Thanks.

Let's start here. If you want to use a base station with your workshop cameras, then you will need a new base station in the workshop, and a way to connect it to the internet (probably via your home network).

Another option is to get cameras that connect directly to your workshop wifi - for instance, the new Arlo Essentials cameras, the Pro3 Floodlight, or the video doorbell.

The third option is to use the Arlo Go, which requires a mobile data plan.

Arlo's not part of Netgear anymore, and there isn't any integration benefit of going with a Netgear product.

That said, Netgear does sell an airbridge that looks similarly priced: https://www.netgear.com/business/products/wireless/wireless-airbridge/
