re: Camera/ wifi setup for barn

I've been working on a similar project for a buddy's farm. We've upgraded the network at the house with Ubiquiti, expanded the network outdoors and are working towards further expansion. Went the route of general TP-Link POE switch to take Cat6 run from house to a shed, then jumping from shed to a pole with a Mesh Outdoor AP and Reolink PTX POE camera. We have good wifi coverage and he's talking about wanting another camera at his newly constructed pole barn so that there's video of one of the two roads/driveways that come into the property.
Reolink has been easy and user-friendly. Ubiquiti is more expensive but provides best cameras. We're prepping for a PtP so we can expand wifi/netowrk further into the pastures. If you're truly after a PtP bridge then the Ubiquiti 5 AC Loco is a cheap option ($50/ea) to handle that gape. I just installed a pair to get better connectivity from my home to my detached shed that I use as my everday office/workspace...it's been great

Thanks! I’ll start looking into those.

So if I run a pair of AC Locos from the house to the barn, I would still need a wireless access point connected to the AC Loco at the barn right? That way the cameras could connect to it? And would everything still operate off the local network at the house so that I can view the video locally without relying on shitty internet upload speeds?
