mrcheap 0 Posted April 4, 2018 Hi All, I am new here and would like some advice on what would best work for me. I recently purchased a shore home and right now I only spend weekends there. I do not have WIFI there as it does not make financial sense based on the minimum use. I have an alarm system there but due to the lack of WIFI it's not tied into a camera system. I've been doing some research on what's out there. I don't have a ton of real estate to cover and I would maybe only need one or two camera's max. I do like the dome style camera's as I would like to put one underneath the garage door opening as that would be front and center for my house. However if I go wireless, I'm afraid somebody may come up and just unscrew the antenna. If I go the POE route my vision is to mount the dome camera by the garage door and run the wire directly to the NVR in the garage. If I go the wireless route I am afraid I may not mount them high enough to avoid tampering. Like I said I don't have WIFI so I won't do any live monitoring, just have it as a theft deterrent and to record events while I'm not there in case something does happen, I can review the video. Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
51cent 8 Posted April 4, 2018 If your worried about tampering like antenna removal, a can of spray paint is even quicker. Wifi cameras are ok with one, maybe two, but you still may have interference/dropouts. After someone gets a camera or two, they often decide they will want to add more. In that case, go with poe.I'm sure others will add to this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
