Connecting IP Cameras to Access Point

Forum TomsNetworking : General Discussion Connecting IP Cameras to Access Point

Hi all. New here.
I hope to be clear to you guys.
I have two locations separated by less than 300 meters. In each zone I have an Access Point and in only one zone (let's call it Zone B), I have two IP Cameras.
The idea is to connect these two cameras to my AP located at Zone B, and then, send this signal to my other AP to get this cameras in a LCD... First of all, I want to know in which mode should the APs be connected, I mean, in which "Operation Mode". I have three options:

-AP Client Router
-AP Router
-AP

And if I choose AP mode:

-AP:
+ Access Point
+ Client
+ WDS Bridge
+ Repeater

Hope you can help me guys, I've been trying for two long days haha.

PD: The APs Model: TL-WA5210G

How are they attached to the network, do you have them both attached with a CAT5e cable, or are you connecting to them with a wireless signal?

If they are attached to the router with a run of cable, then they are really APs and can work in Access Point mode.

It really all depends on how each is going to be attached to the network, and I would assume that the network already has a router with DHCP server functions??
