Running cable is often the easiest solution — right up until you’re stood on site and realise for that one camera a cable isn’t going to work.
Distance, groundworks, live environments, client restrictions, or time pressure can quickly turn a simple camera install into a complicated, high‑risk job. This is where let’s look through common installer scenarios where the VueNet EasyLink One is being used to connect a single remote camera quickly, reliably, and without call‑backs.
When a Direct Connection Isn’t an Option
You arrive on site expecting a straightforward camera install, only to realise that one camera is positioned 100–300 metres away from the main building. It might be a separate structure, a yard, a car park, or an outbuilding — but running cable between the two isn’t viable. Typically, we have seen these issues on sites such as Farms, Small businesses, warehouses, schools and homes and the challenges are often familiar:
· Distance between buildings
· Trenching or containment isn’t practical
· The client doesn’t want disruption
· Site Wi‑Fi is unreliable or doesn’t exist
On paper, it looks like a headache. You must find a reliable way to link the camera — or risk a job that drags on and eats into your margin.In these situations, the goal in these situations it is far too easy to overengineer a solution, but the solution can be quick, reliable and easy to install.
This is where VueNet EasyLink One fits in.
Using VueNet EasyLink One on Site
EasyLink One is a point‑to‑point wireless transmission bridge, designed specifically to link two locations wirelessly — without the need for networking expertise or complex configuration.
Just power the camera and both EasyLink transmitters plug your camera into one, your NVR into another and DONE. It’s not trying to be everything. It’s designed to do one job well: connect two points reliably.
What makes EasyLink One so installer friendly on site is how little time it takes to get running:
· Pre‑paired out of the box
· True plug‑in‑and‑play setup
· Pre‑calibrated for outdoor frequencies
· No complex configuration or alignment process
There’s no need to be a wireless networking specialist. If you can mount it and power it, you can use it with a link established within minutes. For most installers, the full install is completed in under 30 minutes, making it easy to factor into both planning and quotes.
And if the site throws something unexpected into the mix, CCTVdirect’s UK‑based technical support is on hand to advise — including telling you honestly if EasyLink One isn’t the right fit for that job.
The Best Outcome
When used in the right environment, installers see consistent, practical results:
· Stable wireless link at up to 300m line‑of‑sight
· Consistent camera feed
· No reliance on customer Wi‑Fi
· Reduced risk of interference issues compared to general-purpose Wi‑Fi bridges
It does what it’s designed to do — without constant tweaking or returns to site. Just as important are the commercial benefits:
· Faster installs
· Protected margins
· Fewer call‑backs
· Easier quoting for similar future jobs
· Reduced risk on fixed‑price work
Installers using EasyLink One often find they’re more comfortable quoting wireless links where they would previously avoid them — simply because the solution is predictable and repeatable.
When EasyLink One Is (and Isn’t) the Right Fit
EasyLink One is ideal for:
✔ Single‑camera links
✔ Clear line‑of‑sight installations
✔ Distances up to 300m
It’s not designed for:
✘ Multi‑camera backhauls
✘ High‑density or heavy‑interference environments
For larger scale requriements we will recommend the Easy Link Core or Easy Link Pro with larger range and Multiple EasyLink Support. If a job falls outside those bounds, CCTVdirect’s technical team will let you know and help you find a better alternative. So, if you’re unsure give us a call today on 0113 233 7070.
