I currently have a PoE offline LAN security system at work with 5 cameras that is accessed locally through an app on my phone
I want to extend the system with 2-3 cameras to another part of the huge warehouse, but would prefer they be separate from my router which is maxed out. And because my current system is offline/ local only, it's sometimes difficult to reach the other end of the warehouse from where I'm at
Since the new system will also be offline, I was wondering if I could use a TP-link (or other) access point with 2-3 wireless cameras as a stand alone "long range system", that can be reached from the entire warehouse, without the need of setting up another router? Or do all access points require a router to function properly?
I'm assuming a wireless access point will reach further than my router does
