Yes. If you're using a dedicated recorder (DVR/NVR), then your PC has no purpose when you're away. You can also turn an old PC into a recorder with various NVR software. For lightweight applications something like Milestone Go would work pretty well.

Also, I Googled "Ubiquiti Nanostation M2" and saw their site-but frankly can't tell if they offer wireless add-ons or whole camera systems that are wireless. Some more advice here would be much appreciated.
Thanks all.

Ubiquiti has primarily been a supplier of equipment for wireless ISPs (WISPs), though their equipment is used in lots of industries. They make a wide range of devices that can go at very high speeds over very long distances, but you wouldn't need any of that for a typical residential or small business install. They have also recently begun offering some cameras and VMS systems, though the products are pretty basic and do not offer a lot of options. However if you're just looking to bang up a simple camera or two it might be worth considering.
