Outdoor EAP installation - questions
Hi,
I have a question regarding choosing a proper equipment.
I have an outdoor site to cover with WiFi for IP cameras (like 2-4 cameras, so not much).
The problem is, the site is like 120m (in straight line) away from the office where the internet connection is placed. I was asked to somehow connect the site with the office and I had two ideas:
1. Use an EAP215 Bridge Kit to deliver network from The Office [A] to the site [B]. Then mount EAP225-Outdoor on site to provide WiFi network for cameras
2. Use two EAP225-Outdoor (one outside of the office [A], second one on the site [B]) and connect those within a Mesh. Then the EAP225 on site [B] could provide network to cameras as well as connect to the office.
My doubts are:
For 1st idea: That's rather heavy on equipment and costly solution - not sure if fit the purpose.
For 2nd idea: I'm afraid that the range on EAP225 may be not enough to create proper, consistent connection between those two EAPs as well as provide proper WiFi signal to cameras.
Simple graph below:
I hope there's someone with more experience in such topic who could guide me a little. Maybe I have picked wrong devices, maybe there's better outdoor model of EAP which could handle greater range than 225 so the Mesh would be enough?
Many thanks for any suggestions.
Cheers!
