wireless ap advice for ip cam setup

[griffonsystems]

Any advice on the following application:
5 light poles with power will have 5 megapixel ip cameras(mobotix m12s) mounted on them with a box that contains a wireless ap so that the police can drive their car to any of the poles and download any of the video onto their laptops by accessing the wireless network -- poles are all in one line about 100-200ft apart all with los

thanks

Didn't know Mobotix came out with their 5MP cameras yet.. What exactly are you asking? Sounds like a good idea. Are you trying to network them together or is each one a standalone camera with an SD card for storage.

If you haven't chosen yet, Ubiquiti makes inexpensive AP with PoE where you can power the camera from the access point. Don't remember the model but it's one of their NanoStations.

hehe sorry buell that was 5 in quantity not 5mp the mobotix cams are still 3mp

each camera will record to its own sd card and then i just want to setup a wireless network so that they can access any camera easily - im looking at Engenius and Ubiquiti at this point

Not familiar with Engenius, but Ubiquiti makes outdoor bridges and access points that are inexpensive, come with the power supply and pole mount. They have an option to feed PoE power to the camera and I believe it's purchased seperately but may be included in certain models. Their support is not very good so don't count on them for help. They do have an active forum community on their website that's more helpful.
