I bought an UDR the other day and I’m quite overhelmed with the various products Ubiquiti offers but I was thinking of getting at least one U6 Mesh that will be placed in the other end of the building and then I’d like if possible connect a PoE surveillance cam to a wireless bridge in an external building/garage if that exists into a powered PoE port for simplicity. Is there such option with Ubiquiti that could be connected to the said U6 Mesh and speak with the rest of the WLAN network (same or different VLANs, probably doesn’t matter in my case). I see options like Nanostation devices but I’m not sure if it’s meant for my use case or if it can even connect and be managed by the UDR for that matter.

Hopefully that made sense, ie: UDR -> U6 Mesh -> A wireless bridge or AP with PoE output powering PTZ camera and the camera can be accessed/seen in the Unifi network. Is this scenario possible/does the necessary wireless bridge/AP even exist?

I also see there seems to not exist any APs with dual PoE for those cases you wanna mix wireless and ethernet connectivity, I’ve had good experience with for example TP-Link in such configuration and has been suprisingly stable.
