Is there a way to turn off the 2.4 GHz band?

If you change the name it will not create a second wireless network on 5ghz.. it simply uses a different wireless name (in applespeak for SSID). There is no way to turn off a band.. the apple always transmits both 2.4ghz and 5ghz.

Can a MAC pick up a 2.4 GHz signal?

That is the only way that your Mac will automatically “switch” to pick up the best quality signal based on its location in relation to the AirPort router. Unfortunately, because your camera cannot handle a dual band signal, you are forced to use separate names for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
