Ubiquiti nanostation m2 IP camera setup without internet connection

Hello,
I want to view the image from an IP camera connected to a NanoStation M2 and retrieve the image transmitted by the first NanoStation to a second remote NanoStation 400 meters away, connected via Wi-Fi to an iPad.

No internet connection is available for this setup as it needs to be portable.
I do target shooting, and the goal is to see the target from a distance and the impact points.
So I don’t know how to configure the two NanoStations AP and STATION? How to obtain an IP address for my camera (DHCP)...

I have to admit I'm a bit lost with many questions.

So I'm looking for help with this configuration (I have a SV3C varifocal IP camera).

Thanks in advance....

Configuration: iPad / Safari 604.3.5

    Hi,
    in my opinion,
    we need 3 Wi-Fi networks:
    one for the camera, unless it can connect via Ethernet as well, the bridge between the two nanostations, and another Wi-Fi network for the tablet.
    after that,
    I don't know if the app on the tablet can connect to the camera directly without going through a third-party server on the internet like it often does.
    otherwise, there's nothing stopping you from assigning a static IP address to the camera.

    and... there you go!

    Thank you for the feedback
    Just in case, I also have a TP-Link nano Wi-Fi router
    What I would like is a copy of the wireless and network pages of both Nanostation M2 to know how to set the IP addresses [static or DHCP], the mode AP, Station, Router or Soho router

    I am really a beginner

      Why did you mark it as resolved?
      I don't have the product, but we can rely on this documentation:
      https://dl.ubnt.com/guides/airOS/airOS_UG.pdf
      First, on page 31, you put both in bridge for now.

    Thank you for the guide that I couldn't find

    But even after consulting it.....it's not clear because for me I don't want an internet box connection and in this case I don't know how the IP addressing will be done automatically, by what system?

      The best thing is for you to do it yourself.
      How is the camera connected to the PA?

        Hello

        At the moment, the two nanostations are in bridge mode on the network tab. On the wireless tab, one is in AP mode and the other in station mode. The IP camera is connected to the LAN port of the M2 STATION. The M2 AP is connected to a Netgear FS205v2 switch. I connected a TP-Link nano router to the Netgear.

        Is this correct?

        OK, so the camera is connected via Ethernet to the nanostation, that's already a good point. You can set this remote station to router mode and enable DHCP on it if you don't know how to assign a static IP address to the camera.
        Try to check the address assigned to the camera.

        Re hello

        I forgot to mention, my IP camera does not have its own address, the box indicates: IP: DHCP

        So I don’t know its IP address in advance,

    Hello again
    Well, I managed to freeze the IP address of my camera with the admin program.

    Nevertheless... I'm desperate to make it work, nothing is working....
    Additionally, it's not possible to post screenshots to facilitate the exchange of information....

      OK,
      so you have a transparent bridge at 1.30, your PC, the two PAs at 1.20 and 1.21, what is the camera's address?
      I assume that the PC connects both PAs correctly, does it ping the camera?

        Good evening

        My camera is finally static at 192.168.1.88

        Yes, the PC is picking up both nanostations but not the camera.

        By the way, is it important to choose which Nanostation to physically connect the IP camera to?
        Does it make a difference if I connect it to the AP rather than the station?
        Also, in the end, I will need to do without the PC because I want to view the images on my iPad.

        Anyway, thanks for helping me out in my struggle.

        Best regards

        OK,
        no, the two nanostations can switch their roles, that's not a problem.
        If you're sure of the IP address assigned to the camera, you should ping it, like the two APs.
        I don't know what kind of diagnostic system the camera has.
        The PC will help you with network diagnostics, but probably not with application diagnostics.
        The tablet uses an application to access the camera; have you tested that on the same local network?

        Hello

        A new week is getting ready.
        Yes, I have already tested the camera on my freebox once and I managed to get the image. So the camera works.

        I will do some tests again this morning. I'll keep you updated.

        Thanks again

    Good evening

    Good news, with your advice I managed to connect everything including via wifi and I can see the image on my iPad.
    I added a Netgear switch, connected the LAN output of the Access Point to it and also plugged a TPLINK router into the switch with a static IP. Miracle everything works with the IPCAM app. I connect my iPad to the TPlink wifi and set my key address to 192.168.1.88 port 80 and it works.

    Thanks again.
