I don't have any experience with these but generally look through reviews when looking to purchase.
The tplink cpe510 have mixed reviews in terms of reliability:
Same here,my Ubiquiti have been spot on,bought engenius years ago (still use one) and never got the 2nd one to work.I recommend Ubiquiti, much more help and better tutorials available online. I had engenius and could not get them to work properly.
Dont buy units which are right at their limit, I think they quote 300m but in reality for real conditions are only good for 150m, I rang some company in the UK last set I bought and thats the impression I got.
Last ones I bought I got them here

I had one outdoors for a good while, a year maybe.Just wondering if anyone is running cheaper cameras outdoors? I hav Sricam cameras an done wit till Xmas again. Was thinking of settin one on pole outside to keep odd eye on yard. Also goin to set wireless bridge from house for internet. R they robust enough for outdoors?
I presume you mean connection lag as in time for app to connect as opposed to waiting fo camera to boot after being powered on?Have two cameras in one shed working off the internet, one cheap one and one good one, working off same internet, both connected by cable. The good one loads up straight away, the cheap one takes maybe 10-15 seconds. Is there any spec you can look for when buying the camera to reduce the boot up lag? Just for future reference.
Reolink have one that you just pop the sim card into. Check the upload speed with app on your phone in the spot you plan to place the camera in to check you have a decent signal. Alternatively a tp link router for 100e and any 4/5mp camera for 50-80 will do the job too. Amazon will have decent ones.I am being lazy and don’t want to read the last nine pages. So, any recommendations for a SIM card connected camera. Promised herself I would put in a camera to check on the mares when foaling and one is due in a couple of weeks so I need to get it sorted sharpish.
If I got one of the routers in the link below would it be enough to get the wifi to reach the shed or do you mean get a router with a SIM slot and put it near the camera?Reolink have one that you just pop the sim card into.

I have a router in shed. All depends on how far away shed is. You might be able to use small antennas to send signal but that’s above my pay grade.If I got one of the routers in the link below would it be enough to get the wifi to reach the shed or do you mean get a router with a SIM slot and put it near the camera?

Thanks for the help
I got the stuff I have set up here off them, don’t think the Poe ip cameras I got are available anymore thoughFreetv.ie does wifi/lan camera kits, also has p2p setups. Worth a look.
I havent got a sricam camera anymore. Did you try doing a factory reset?@muckymanor are you still using the sricam cameras? I have a few, I have one that I can't get to connect. Tried wifi and Lan cable.
Maybe it's just done but said id ask incase I'm missing anything.
I did try a reset.I havent got a sricam camera anymore. Did you try doing a factory reset?
I found the sricam a bit complicated to set up and had to reset it every few months.I did try a reset.
Not to worry.
Why did you move away from sricam?
What do you use now is it the iCsee ones?
I've a couple of them aswell.
Do you mean its not showing up in the app to view/add the camera or you're getting no picture?@muckymanor are you still using the sricam cameras? I have a few, I have one that I can't get to connect. Tried wifi and Lan cable.

It's been taken down a while and not connected. I've tried a few times to setup again from reset. Add camera and the rigmarole that follows. It is unsuccessful in connecting to wifi everytime. I often had bother in connecting them to wifi sometimes they work other times takes several gos.Do you mean its not showing up in the app to view/add the camera or you're getting no picture?
Sometimes they can be hard to get into pairing mode, if the camera is on the app, connect your phone to the same wifi and check again, that will rule out not having any credit on the router.It's been taken down a while and not connected.

I've connected a lan cable directly a few times and that sorted it but this one won't connect that way either.
I'm guessing it might be scrap now but said id ask.
No I have it in the house now trying to connect to the broadband so that's not the issue anyway unfortunately.Sometimes they can be hard to get into pairing mode, if the camera is on the app, connect your phone to the same wifi and check again, that will rule out not having any credit on the router.
