IP cameras on ring topology, not star
I'm looking for information on equipment that can/should be used to install IP video cameras on poles around a perimeter (1-2 km, or more).
Token-ring routers typically require all drops to be plugged into a panel (operates in token ring fashion, but physically is a star), which is not practical with 100 cameras running around a ring, feeding traffic back to recorders.
The equipment needs to be economical (hub on each pole).
Any suggestions or real-world examples out there?
Thanks.
