- paranoidrobot 4y agoLots of people rent and can't install wiring in/through walls.
- walterbell 4y agoIt might be possible to use copper mesh to shield an exterior camera, with a low-power wifi AP mounted on the opposite site of the same wall, shielded with copper mesh and connected to ethernet. Camera-AP wifi communication would go through the wall.

- mod 4y agoI can give you a reason: I want to be able to move cameras inside my business on a whim. The cameras are 99% for monitoring while we're open. They solve many, many mysteries that tend to take place in bars.
- vorpalhex 4y agoThe camera is just to alert me. If it is jammed or attacked.. that should generate an alert. Even a hardwired camera can be painted or hit with a bb gun.
