The Scenario: Expanding Surveillance Coverage with Wireless Camera Links
A customer needed to connect two pole-mounted Verkada security cameras at an industrial facility. The challenge? Running physical cabling between the two locations was impractical due to infrastructure constraints. Fortunately, a clear line of sight was available, and the distance was under 1000 feet, making a wireless bridge the ideal solution.
