Anyone used Unifi / Ubiquiti Point to Point?

[PurpleFox]

I have a Unifi network at home (Gen 2 cloud key, 16 port PoE, USG, multiple AP's etc) and want to add to it. I am very happy with the products and want to try and stick with them to expand the system to connect my garage, which is at the bottom of the garden (30m away max).

I am considering adding some sort of Unifi Point to Point link so I can have a PoE switch in the garage with an AP and some CCTV cams connected and reliable internet for my alarm connection.

However, I am getting confused at the bewildering array of products available to achieve the point to point link or wireless bridge (are they the same thing?)

Can anyone suggest what I should be going for?

Thanks

PS - I have tried powerline extenders etc in the past and they are no good for what I need.

Thanks for the links and comments - appreciated. I have seen some of the cross talk videos when I started with the Unifi stuff and they were very helpful - will watch when I get chance (shame it's 40 mins )

Looks like the Loco M5 would do the trick, but as megaphone said, if you can get some.....why is Unifi stuff so hard to get hold of at the moment, most of their cam's are on back order too. I hadn't realised they would be on a different app.......question then - If I plug in a Unify switch and Unifi cameras at the far end, will I be able to manage them in the Unifi app and Unifi Protect for the cameras?

I only need two basic cameras and the wifi for general ad-hoc use in the garage and at the bottom of the garden - nothing spectacular.


With regards the mesh, I did install a UniFi AC Mesh Pro on the house but it was rather disappointing and not exactly cheap. You do get wifi at the bottom of the garden but your device has to be facing it and if you get so much as a leaf or branch in the way it drops out and inside the garage you can forget it. Is it supposed to have another device at the far end to mesh to?
