Hidden Base Station?

[asmith86]

I am looking to buy the VMS3430 pack with 4 wire-free cameras and base station for a small business.  The switches that I could potentially plug the base into are all in closets or server rooms.  Would this cause any interference to cameras that are in different parts of the building?

Alternatively, I would ask if the base is mountable?

Finally - does anyone have any experience with these cameras in a business setting?  Wondering if there are any complications with using enterprise grade wireless with these (Cisco Meraki Access Points)

Thanks!!

Any interference would generally be caused by any other 2.4GHz frequencies created or used by other equipment. I wouldn't think you'd have a problem other than from WiFi routers. If it's just switches, you shouldnt have an issue. Of course, wiring, racks, ductwork, etc. all can block WiFi signals so positioning would be critical.

There's no specific mounting capabilities but some clever use of double-sided tape or Velcro could be useful.

As for use with specific Cisco APs, the base uses Ethernet only. The connections between the base and cameras are a unique WiFi network used only by Arlo with no ability to access it. These same WiFi APs could cause interference between the base and specific cameras so some trial and error in positioning both the base and cameras may be needed for optimal results.
