CCTV Wireless WIFi Bridge?
Has anyone installed a remote CCTV using a Wireless WiFi Bridge? I have a building with power going to it, and a CCTV installer said its simple to install a Secure WiFi Bridge, it will have a range of up to 2Km for our phones...

This is the type of thing you need, but 2 matching ones:

I will say I have not used this one, as I always try to use wired cat6 or fibre where possible as it's the fastest most reliable way to do this.
However, if there is really no other way to get over there than radio, then stick to 5GHz wifi as 2.4Ghz tends to be slower and more congested. (although it normally has more range)
If you have wifi elsewhere onsite make sure the frequencies don't overlap with each other.
5GHz is line of site, so no trees etc in the way.
As these things age expect to have to reset them as they can stall/crash etc.
Also I think you have to used shield cat6 to ensure static electric is drained off.
Check the manual on whichever type you decide to go for before purchase.

We have a these from Solwise, work fine
As @rollestonpark says above they can occasionally freeze
These have a setting to schedule a reboot. Have it set to 1am every day which solves the above.
The support line at Solwise is very good if you need guidance
As well as working as a wireless bridge they can be set to give a wifi service at either end

Also have a pair of these forming a p2p bridge. Solwise as he says an excellent and helpful firm to deal with. Bear in mind 5ghz is only seen by some wifi clients (phones mostly) so older 2.4ghz equipment wont see it if you are intending to use them as an AP.We have a these from Solwise, work fine

I have an all Engenius wifi network of several indoor and outdoor AP's and p2p links, plus an Engenius managed switch where you can administer all AP's in one go. They just work. Use POE switches to power the AP's.
