We are moving to a property with multiple outbuildings including a large barn and a home. I want to set up a wifi network of cameras to get security on as much of the property as possible. We will not have good internet speeds so I am hoping to find ways to set up a wireless network to control cameras that don’t need internet access to work. The only issue I see with this is to access real time data the app/device will need to be connected to that router.
My basic layout idea:
Home – stand-alone phone/ipad to control and get notifications -Main Router with storage device connected (if each camera doesn’t have it’s own) -3 cameras to cover each direction
Barn and surrounding – 3-5 cameras to cover the rest of the area – repeater of some sort to maintain router signal
Cameras will need to be waterproof and ideally able to take good night photos/ videos.
I have some real basic experience in networking and have set up a couple basic off the shelf security systems before. Any suggestions/ advice would be awesome!
Edit: future ability to monitor chickens and livestock would be awesome also.
