Welcome to the community! :)
As I understand your initial post, the security cameras (which are directly connected to the GS305Pv2) and the WAC104 are going to be on the same subnet. Am I right? If yes, then the WAC104 will work on network setup you are trying to implement.

Does the primary WiFi router support WDS bridging as a Wireless Base Station? Most WiFi routers or APs simply don't.

The WAC104 however is not a universal wireless extender allowing to connect to generic wireless access point devices or WiFi routers.
