Hi All,
Im doing some sub work for a security company(cameras, key fobs, hospital doors..etc). They are trying to install cameras at one of their customers sites and are looking to setup cameras over wifi so they asked me to beef it up a bit.
The property isn't huge, but its not small. The house was built in 1906 so running wires is a pain, although I have full access to an unfinished basement. So I was thinking of adding two access points outside via the basement. So one going out to the front and one going out to the back.
I picked up a pair of AC Mesh Pros, but I am running a hardline... is it possible for these puppies to be put into a full AP mode rather than a mesh AP? I've never used one before and honestly I was really surprised at the size of it, its a lot bigger than I thought. In other words, I want the uplink to be the hard line rather than wifi.
I was going to use the Unifi AC Mesh, with the directional antennas, but the pro has the 3x3. I recently saw that the regular Unifi AC Pro is outdoor rated too, but I didnt know that until after I purchased these two AC Mesh Pros.
Thanks!
