Hi that box is great. Is there not a need for ventilation or cooling? Also, if it could fit would the AP be better inside (even though outdoor rated) the box for added protection and the minimal WiFi coverage needed? Thank you for the great video.

Yes, the threaded style with an O-ring, is what you need to use. PVC cement won't bond properly to the rubber outer jacket of the sealtite hose. You can safely run the wires free air to the receptacle, being it is inside the 12 by 12 enclosure, or put a threaded female coupling on the end of the sealtite connector and put a short piece of PVC conduit into the receptacle's box.

If youre not needing anything complex and just want a wireless ethernet cable basically, just set them up in bridge mode, dhcp enabled and plug the AP into your router or switch. If you use the AC Gen2 like he did, you can take advantage of the 2nd port on the station radio for POE out to a 24v passive POE wifi access point. May need to add the 2nd port to Bridge0 so it pulls dhcp from same pool as your radios. Lots of cool stuff you can do with nanobeams if you want to take the time to mess around with them. For example, setting the station radio to router mode and have it act as a router. Has NAT, port forwarding, etc.

My only issue with Axis is their support was poor.

I ended up having to hard wire them as a result and I still think of that every time I see them. Solid cameras as they ran for 5+ years but there is nothing i hate more than planned obsolescence.

I have to strongly disagree with the choice of Axis cameras. I work directly with camera installs for work as a Deployment Support Agent, and prior to that I was supporting a large retailer who had nearly exclusively Axis products as their security system. TBF, they crash a lot, their video quality is terrible, and their reparability is poor. If I were to suggest a different product, I would choose either Hanwa / Techwin cameras over Axis. Personally though, I would probably go for more consumer sided Wyze cameras as they are cheaper, efficient, and some models are even battery powered with wifi. Take that suggestion as you wish though.
