Re: Using wireless streaming HDD as recorder
My concern would be if it could handle the large amount of data transmitted by the cameras. In a different scenario than yours I tried to setup a WIFI bridge between 2 buildings and record back to an NVR. When I added the 2nd camera it would work for a few hours then crash the WIFI bridge, I tried 2 different manufacturers for the bridge and had the same problem. I ended up running a wire between the buildings and hard wiring my cameras. Your idea might work fine or you may be in for some frustration. Best of luck.
