I have an office located about 100 ft from my apartment window with direct line of sight. Do I need two of these units and two routers, one per side?

These have a built in router that can be shut on or off. If you need more than the one port you would need a switch. This type of set up would require a little bit of networking know-how. I would call your local computer shop or IT guy, you could also Google how other people set them up.

Know, these are actually acess points themselves. You could set them up as AP-Repeaters for wireless devices, or connect it to a switch. If you have a router at location 1, then you can use that router for dhcp, and put a switch on the other side. Many different ways to connect and configure it. I have 10 stations with one 1 router. But these can be used as a router.

You can create a WAN with the two routers. It is not straight forward to set up but we have done it.

You can have as many units as you want. I have 4 around the house. Although, I switched to a different model because 85 mbps is an old technology. I use 500 mbps from TP-Link AV500 they sell kits of 2 units TL-PA4010KIT, hope it helps

There is over a foot distance. I have my router and moden there and there is plenty of space left over.

Yes, you need two or more of these. These are especially good for house to house since they transmit and receive a relatively long distance. Regular so-called wireless intercoms depend on the house electrical wiring and do not often work if the units are in different houses. Remember, since these transmit over the air, your communication can be monitored by others who use the same channels within a few miles.

Really, these repeaters work best if they are halfway between the original wireless router/access-point and the client device.If you put it in the workshop, it may not pick up the router any better than your PC.If you put it in your house, it may not be any stronger than the original router.My 2c would be to install it in/very close to a window facing your workshop.That way, it will hve a strong signal from the router, and will present the best possible signal toward the workshop.

Is this a 2 way com ? or do i need another unit or a differant type unit to comunicate 2 directions?

I have a couple sites where I used two units to get coverage for the entire floor. As long as you use the same SSID and password for the APs, you should have a hard time with going between the one with stronger signal.

One is the router which you must have for this system to operate. The other is an outdoor casing for a camera.

Yes, I did that with mine. I use one as a router and one as an access point. It got rid of some dead spots in my wireless coverage. I also hard wired my blu-ray player to the access point. I get 100 mbs hard wired and up to 72 mbs wireless. I was quite satisfied.

You can use the Ubiquiti Unifi outdoor AP for this. If you do not have clear line of site to the office you can also attach the outdoor unit to a Ubiquiti sectional antenna to enhance signal to the office.

I have three units. Two of them are in the house, the 3rd in my office above a detached garage. Two most distant unit are about 150' apart ... works great for two/three way communication.

Works for me. I have a Belkin router in the basement and a two antenna Amped SR1000 repeater on the second floor feeding the directional antenna outside. The directional antenna uses one spot where one antenna was removed (which one makes a difference) and the other antenna is for indoor use.I have a great signal from the Amped to a dock location 300 feet from the house and I select the Amped source everywhere in the house except the basement where the Belkin signal is better.

The ubiquiti units are point to multipoint, however, we always dedicate a pair to each link. We have a mix of different frequency units to avoid interference from each other and trees, etc.. If you use a bunch of units on the same frequency, you will need to reduce the spectrum for each, which reduces the throughput. The 5GHz units must be direct line of sight. We only have about .1 to .5 mile separation, with 900, 2.4, 3.65 and now 5 GHz links, so not experienced with this unit over longer distance. See other answer about 120 degrees, these units are highly directional.

This would give you multiple network connections. A internet (ex cable) router would be needed to access the cameras from outside the building.

radius is roughly 25-30 yards... on the same level (floor and outdoors) as the router. you do have to be careful of obstructions (metal doors/ductwork/appliances/etc) as they'll reflect the signal. a good central location would be best. :)

How far is your WiFi from the location where the M5 will be? Do you have line of sight with a clear Fresnel zone? I would say yes to using two. Normal WiFi routers don't have the strength to TX more than 100 feet or so. You place both of these in P2P mode and they will work well.
