Cameras that require internet to connect to are a mistake, but cameras that use Wifi for local link are fine (wifi is perfect for this). And, having some way to connect remotely is a requirement, for most everyone.
- rob-olmos 2mo agoI took their point to be about wifi being jammable
- fragmede 2mo agoYeah first thing burglars are gonna do is jam your wifi camera so you don't have any video of them. Run cat-5 and get a PoE camera.
- kps 2mo agoAnd be sure your outdoor cameras are on an isolated VLAN so people can't just plug in to your home network.
- inigyou 2mo agoI read this as sarcastic but it's a thing. Simplisafe, for example, is trivially jammed.
- mlrtime 2mo agoYeah, not sure why people are downvoting you. I suspect because most people run wifi cameras and don't see the reason to run a ethernet cable. If you are halfway serious about your home security, you should use ethernet. It's trivial for thieves to jam wifi now.
- wao0uuno 2mo agoSecurity system that can be jammed is a terrible idea. Cameras should be wired. Ideally on separate network and with battery backup.
