   Wireless Network

  




Ubiquiti "Unifi" Outdoor Access Point
It communicates to the units on the the right and below.
The old system used routers and hi gain antennas.

 



Two Ubiquiti "Nano M2" stations on the Prow house
Each one connects to a wireless access point (AP)


 



Cisco Small Office Router in main house
Take this Cisco RV42 small office router found on the surplus market. Our opinion is that it is more reliable and probably faster than most consumer routers.		  

Technology is moving so fast that used "pro" equipment can be had on the surplus market for 1/10th the original price.





These nano stations  are easy to use, directional, put out  a lot of power and they find the best balance between power and data speed. Plus they are "open source" and 3rd party programmers have written new firmware that makes them work even better.

"Video Capture" Software takes it to the next level. Advanced motion detection, video or snapshot options and email, text and upload to the internet are all available with a huge variety of options. After checking out the available products. We settled on Blue Iris 3rd Party software.




Here's a shot from the "Pump House" Cam.
The motion controls and posting, email and other options available using Blue Iris are incredible.
