I’m looking to extend my Wi-Fi approximately 250 feet also.

I'm talking about point-to-point wireless bridge radio links, they don't extend your wifi. Think of them as a wireless wire, and on the other end you can put whatever gear you need. Switch, cameras, a wifi access point, whatever.

I am trying to hook up a security camera and want Wi-Fi access at that distance. Will this work for that?

As long as you have power on the far end to run your equipment it'll work. In addition to the wireless bridge, you will need a switch (PoE probably), into which you will plug your camera and wifi access point.

How hard is it to set up?

Depends on what you get and whether they are pre-paired. I usually get them unconfigured so I go through all the setup, and if you've never done it it may be a little daunting. If you get a pair that's already linked you should just have to wire them up and point them at each other.

Here is a crude visual aid because I know it can be confusing:
