Firebrick and Wifi cameras etc

[Taz]

Hi Chaps, I am looking at the Firebrick for inhouse firewall, however I
would like to add a Wifi IP camera to the network for viewing from my
laptop or wifi pc and also from the internet, what equipment would I
need to compliment the firebrick please

Thanks

A CAT5 Cable to link the WiFi access point to the Firebrick.

Thanks m8, would I need a wifi router aswell ? or will the access point
allow me to see what the camera is looking at from the laptop ?

Thanks

You need a WAP (wireless access point), and then just configure the
WAP apropriately (i.e, securely), and then get the camera connected to
the WAP over wireless. You can then either give the camera a public
IP or map a port on one of your public addresses to the cameras web
server.

You should not buy a wireless router - a WAP is all you need - a
router will add more complexity to the system as it will probably NAT
everything on the wireless link.
