Hello LTT forum! I've a wireless IP Camera which I need a wireless solution for. The IP Camera should be sent wireless (500 meters) to a laptop. I do not have any internet connection but I've power.

I been thinking about these: https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Litebeam-M5-23-GHz-airMAX/dp/B014S1JJVM/ref=pd_sim_147_14?ie=UTF8&dpID=41bLuXmyTML&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=022TR05YY5J7KQ7QY61A

But they are way too expensive, can it be done very cheap? :)

Thank you

We need some more info about the 500 meters, 

are there walls/trees/mountains?

Where are there power outlets?

Do you own the area inbetween?

If the camera is in a line of sight then you're best(wireless) option is to use direction pt-p devices like you suggested, but for 500m you can go cheaper and even used as long as theres a line of sight.
