I'm using a UDM Pro which has the key built in. I created a SSID just for the IP cams but they connect two both AP's instead of the one. I'm not sure what would be better.

I ended up getting UniFi back it is pretty cool! How do i dedicate one AP for the cameras to use and nothing else? I'll try one and see if it can handle it. I have two AP's at the moment. When i setup a SSID for only 2.4Ghz devices it ends up using two AP's.

I seen another post where the guy installed a dry box outside with a POE switch inside it so he would only have one wire coming back into the house instead of one for each camera, Would this really work? Seems like if you had to many cameras the one wire may get saturated.

If i where to find IP cams that are 5Ghz would it still cause the same issue?

Working great!

No they are 2.4 Ghz only. I should have tryed the power line adapters not sure how good they would have been.

Is that ideal?

I'm using channel 1 on my router and 6 and 11 on the two AP's

I went to best buy and bought two netgear ac1000 routers along with a cheap switch. I then ran a cat6 cable from one end of the house to the other far end then I plugged new cat6 cable into switch i just bought then plugged both AC1000 into it that are set to AP mode. So i set up a wireless...

Is that a lot of data? I'm sure eventually you could max out your 1GIG switch.

BTW what is the static in BI that says for totals 640MP That is the way i had it when i used UniFi but they would all connect to the same AP since it was the nearest one.

If i use more than one SSID on the same router it would still over load the router right? So i would need to use two AP''s and split the traffic between the two? Sorry i'm not the best at networking and understanding it. :( BTW in the BI stats page at the very bottom it says Totals 5701.68...

Worse yet i have no attic it's like a trailer roof....flat. Back on topic why coundn't a udm-pro and two AC-Pros handle 5 ip cams when it's rated for 250 devices? My house is only 2,000 square feet.

It did not work for me with 5 streaming to BI.

Looking back i wish i would have kept the UDM-Pro but it cost a lot more than a simple r7000 Even UniFi could not do 5 wireless IP cams when they claim there AP's can do 250 clients. My house is built on a concrete slab with no attic or crawl space which makes it hard to hardwire them without...
