Are wired cameras worth the extra hassle? What do you guys think?

I'm tech STUPID!! BIGTIME!! …So maybe this is a stupid question but….If someone is robbing you wouldn't they take the hard drive with them?

i have several Ring battery/wireless cams. due to my weak internet at a spot one cam is usually offline half the time. id like a system that is running/looking 24-7. of the 2 wired systems you showed do either send an alert to your phone when motion is detected? can you hear and speak thru the cams when you see a person thru the cams? also do either cam systems have "illumination" at night when motion is detected. im either going to get a wired system like shown or have someone come and wire my house with whatever will help spread my internet signal.
thanks for the quick and to the point video.

I think wired is better. I've have two different wifi security camera setups and it's nerve wracking when you're on vacation or wherever and want to check in/around your house and somp1e or all the cameras have magically disconnected themselves and you start freaking out. Manually reconnecting from your app only sometimes works. If you're lucky they'll reconnect whenever they choose to be it 1hr~24hrs. So if you're up to it go wired.👍

now that I see some thieves are blocking wireless signals on cameras, I would go with a wired camera instead. Or have a combination of Wireless and Wired cameras. I don't believe there is a foolproof camera detector (so I am sure there are a lot of places you can hide a camera and it wouldn't be found)

Are there any options for the POE cameras but to have them also work with Homekit?

Can anyone help?? I’m looking for a mobile option (on RV). Any budget friendly options?

Wound Wyze work? Seems like it would work.

hi friend. tell me a camera from Aliexpress with a convenient application like Unifi, but cheaper (up to $ 100) with 24/7 recording as in your video

The thing to remember is that most modern wired cameras use POE which means an ethernet connection so you should set up a DMZ network so people can't access your internal WiFi devices. Unfortunately, most of these camera systems expect the subnet to be the same as your internal devices such as your Alexa Echo's or Google Home's instead of routing through a firewall so you have to set up an old fashion "screen" (that's what the public domain software to do it was called) to firewall off the external wired connections. I haven't seen a screen install since the early 90's from before firewalls routers became everywhere.

Note, wired installs are easy though uncomfortable to do if your attic is still undeveloped, and you could always just run conduits on the outside of your house (cable, satellite tv, roof tv antennas, phone lines and even those split air conditioner coolant lines are often just run externally when a house is retrofitted, they just get covered when the house is resided)

I was thinking of getting wired systems. I worry about the length of cables to run through the house to the basement. Who did u say to hire a person to install the wires ? I'm in Missouri.
