Sometimes is necessary to send the signals from your IP cameras<\/strong> to a recorder or central station located far away and that’s where you can use a wireless bridge for security cameras.<\/p>\n

\"Wireless<\/span><\/p>\n

Wi-fi radios and wireless bridge for security cameras are very common on outdoor projects where is too hard to pull cables.<\/p>\n

It’s possible to power up the IP camera using a PoE (Power over Ethernet) device such as a power injector or PoE switch <\/a>as shown in the previous picture. <\/p>\n

The switch can be connected to a radio transmitter to send the video signals to a receiver which is also connected to a switch that leads to computers or recorders.<\/p>\n

If the wireless radios are configured to work in “bridge mode<\/em><\/strong>” they will simply connect both ends as if a UTP (network cable) was used between the switches.<\/p>\n

\"Wireless<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of the professional wireless radios have the bridge mode available, so make sure you buy a model that allows such a configuration.<\/p>\n

See below an example of the Ubiquity Nano Station<\/a> wireless radio which has the Transparent Bridge Mode, you just need to check the enable box. Very easy, right? <\/p>\n

\"Ubiquiti<\/span><\/p>\n

You can find this model on Amazon<\/a>, usually for less than $200.  <\/p>\n

The manufacturer claims the radio can reach up to 10Km<\/strong> with up to 25Mbps<\/strong> which is enough for most applications since an IP camera uses around 2.5 Mbps when transmitting video with Full HD resolution  at 30 FPS (using H.264 CODEC<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Of course, this is just an estimate and some variables such as interference, field of view, obstacles and Fresnel zone<\/a> must be considered during the installation.<\/p>\n

Believe me, you don’t need to worry too much about the technical terms when using a simple pair of wireless radios such as the one mentioned here since it’s designed for easy installation and comes ready to work on bridge mode.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it’s important to learn as much as possible about wireless transmission before starting an outdoor surveillance project.<\/p>\n

I recommend you read the article Wireless Network Design for CCTV<\/a> to understand the details about this topic.<\/p>\n
