Medium Range outdoor wireless IP camera system

[Sean13 0]

Looking for a good quality outdoor wireless IP camera system setup that can reach remote cameras up to ~1 mile away, assuming Line of sight or near-LoS for all locations. I am not 100% sure on the number of camera's the customer will be wanting in total, and how many will need to be wireless. It will be between 8-16 camera's total. At this point just looking for recommendations on where and what to start looking at. I have mainly worked with Ubiquiti unifi camera's before, and never used them in a wireless configuration as I generally hate wireless cameras, but there is no other way to cover the distances and locations needed with anything else.

 

I was considering using the unifi cameras, paired with a nanobeam AC, shooting back to a rocket AC access point and omni antenna on the main building. The only reason I don't like this idea is because of how many different components would be involved in the mix, and in turn how many problems could go wrong in the future. I would like a more "all in one" solution I guess, but not looking for your average run of the mill bargain store wireless cameras, they have to be high quality and reliable. I don't want to be revisiting the site for years down the road when things go wrong, and I know if I throw this many ubiquiti parts into the mix, I will be constantly worried about it.

 

Camera's do not need to be PTZ, and I'm assuming that power will be available or installed at all camera locations.
