Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 Hardware Installation Guide Provide a WiFi connection to an outdoor device that is not WiFi-capable This application lets you extend the network connectivity of any access point (that is, it does not need to be an AirBridge) to an outdoor wired device that is not WiFi-capable. For example, you can connect a security surveillance camera at an entrance or gate to your network by placing an AirBridge configured as a client bridge between the camera and the access point. Because of the powerful antenna of the AirBridge, the camera can connect from a long range. 1 3 2 5 4 6 5 4 6 Figure 9.
