Hello,

we want to connect 10 non wi-fi ip cameras to a computer unit.

It is an outdoor installation, the pictures below are on scale.
The plant is agressive, interference wise.

We intend to use TL-WA5210G units. We've used them before and we're happy with them.
We understand that point to multi-point config allows 1 to 6 units max.

So our dilemma is to choose between two solutions:
1- a structure with lesser access points (5), but with somewhat long cable trays, possibly more prone to interferences.
In this solution, you can see 4 switches. We're not sure this is a valid configuration. Can we use one access point as a
multi point device, connected to 3 equipments through a switch?

2- more access points (12), without cable trays.
In this solution, you can see there are 2 subnets (green and red), because of the 1 to 6 config limit.
Can we merge the two subnets with a switch, connected to the computer unit, as depicted in the image? Remember
that AP11 and AP12 are in point to multi-point config.

Thanks,

Bruno
