Question Concerned about Lightning Strikes and building a hard wired/wireless home network

[Shopman]

I live in central Florida and this area is one of the highest locations in the country for lightning strikes. I've already experienced multiple lightning strikes on my property in the last two years I've been here and had some significant electronic failures because of such. I have a second building on site besides my living residence and I have underground conduits that run between the two, 1 conduit for Power and a separate conduit for Cat 6. I want to connect the SHOP to the House with 1 main Cat 6 cable. Once I'm in the shop Ill go wireless to everything in the shop.

.Id like to connect the SHOP Cat 6 cable to my House modem WIRELESSLY to eliminate the possibility of a lighting strike from taking out my House netwrok. . So the Flow I would like to see would be this:

1. House Modem / Router which is hardwired to the street supply wirelessly connected to :
2. XXXXX ( a wireless receiver - Don't know what this would be) - this would be hardwired to Shop via CAT6
3 XXXXX ( The other end of the CAT 6 from House which is hardwired) and also this would then transmit wirelessly to my devise in Shop

The "XXXX" are two pieces of equipment that will connect at both buildings via hard wire and MUST transmit full band width (not a repeater setup).

Basically I want the Cat 6 cable to be wirelessly connected to the House and The Shop to prevent any thing the cat 6 in the conduit may pick up from damaging the House or the shop equipment.

So...now that I've stated my inquiry 3 ways to be clear (sorry for the redundancy) What pieces of equipment do I need?

Thanks for the help !

So if you keep your camaras "Local Only" how do you see them when your not there?

I seldom need remote access. If I would the DVR computer is dual nic. I can plug it into the main network and remote access it. From there I can see the data being feed from the cameras and if I would really need to I could get into the camera themselves.

Since the DVR is a standard windows box it will not allow traffic to route between the nics.

I have a couple brands of cameras and they are now on the list the US government will not allow to be used in federal buildings. When I very first started using security cameras I was actually capturing the traffic mostly to see what the different settings do. I would from time to time see it attempt to open random IP addresses. Not real often only a couple packets in hours of capture. It was still enough to have me design my system so the cameras can not get to my main network.

What is unfortunate is many cameras sold to consumers require internet access to even function.

I worked network security for many years so I tend to see hackers under every bush
