Determine Your Bandwidth Requirements
Based on all of the site survey, carmera, and NVR criteria, you will need to determine your bandwidth requirements per camera. Then determine how your cameras will associate with the HauteSpot master/AP units. In general, you should assume that you can have up to 30Mbps of actual throughput on a single RF channel. This will vary based on distances, interference, line of sight, etc. Use the 
HauteSpot Wireless Link Calculator v3.1 (Link) to determine the actual throughput given a distance and frequency you intend to use.
HauteSpot Networks uses a TDMA-like protocol which is point to multipoint, meaning that you have a single master/AP unit with several remote station units. So you can add up the bandwidth requirements of all of the cameras that will be associated with a particular master/AP. This can be up to 30Mbps and you should limit the number of cameras to no more than 12 in any case.

Vidovation demos portable wireless network video recorder. The microNVR is ideal for many applications combining on-site edge recording with live wireless relay such as in-vehicle video monitoring, light pole mounted video monitoring, solar powered remote video monitoring stations, camera back video recording and relay, and a pocket-carried video recorder.
We put the HauteSpot microNVR and Global Emergency Resources eWRAP to the test. Driving 700 miles from Meridian, Mississippi to Augusta, Georgia, we put a Mobotix megapixel camera attached to a microNVR and eWRAP in a moving van. The microNVR recorded at full frame rate and resolution all of the video from the camera. It also transcoded and pushed video out over the eWRAP using 3G EvDO wireless. The push architecture remained connected throughout the entire trip including through some relatively remote areas. See as short captured video of this test. 70 miles an hour, 700 miles, 10fps, VGA…
