Stop using shitty Wi-Fi cameras

You running the cable for my hardwired ones or....? Cause $50 for eufy/ring/whatever is way cheaper than having an electrician run the cabling and if they're bringing wi-fi jammers to the robbery they're premeditated and definitely taking your shit regardless of the system so it ends up a problem for your insurance company regardless.

Yeah I can help you hardwire some cameras. I can even get you a big discount on the wire. You don't need an electrician to run cat6, though.

Jammers are cheap and i's super easy to spot Ring/Nest/Arlo/whatever from a distance so it doesn't have to be premeditated at all.

I don't trust any of the wifi camera manufacturers with my data or access to my network

Fair. Maybe I'm just feeling lazy.
