A customer contacted CCTV Camera Pros with the following questions:
I have a client in Ocean City Maryland that wants to place 4 outdoor wireless camera set up. He will mount them on poles that have power however he won’t be able to easily run cable to it so he wants to go wireless. They have a wireless environment for the entire site and want to use that if possible. He then wants to have the images up on his web site for open access. He wants to view the front of his hotel with 2 cameras and have 2 camera on the dock.
Let me know what your thoughts are and any additional information I need to gather. Can we use their existing wireless or do we need to set up a dedicated wireless system?
CCTV Camera Pros response:
My recommendation is to use 4 of these outdoor IP cameras:

These cameras have a built in web server and can be accessed over the Internet from Internet Explorer.
and one of these wireless camera systems:

That wireless camera system comes with 2 transmitters. Instead of configuring one as an access point and one as a bridge, both can be configured as bridges to connect to their existing wireless access point as long as it is using a wireless B or G that is compatible with these transmitters.
You would connect each of the two camera pairs to one of the access point antennas using a network switch like this one:

You will also need a POE injector for each IP camera:

All of these components can be housed inside a weatherproof outdoor enclosure and mounted to the pole also:

Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything else for this one.
Sincerely.
