What's Black and Tan and looks good on a burglar?
I really hope these friggin’ burglars like metals such as lead and copper.
Get some!
Wired alarms and cameras in my house.
Lexan reinforced windows. Discrete bars and trellises that work like bars on vulnerable windows. Rose bushes.
Metal door frames and smash proof doors.
Assay Alboy locks. Various additional supports and things like metal screen doors that are really bars but look like screens.
Screens are security screens from Australia.
Commercial garage doors that can’t be easily pried.
2 Dobermans.
Various firearms.
So, eeeh, how does one hardwire a wireless security camera system?
Oh and the deadbolts can be locked so the inside needs a key to go out. We do this on non-used doors and when gone.
They’d have to exit by a window.
I have guns and a tractor.
Soon to be here so just getting ahead of the game! 😆
Also don’t forget to lock the external power panel.
All my cameras are hardline but pulling the breaker defeats everything.
I know. For me it’s simple, just make sure you have a micro SD card in it and it records everything to Micro SD. And then uploads to the cloud later if it was offline.
Mine doesn’t jam, either.
Couldn’t the batteries be used as backup power?
Pump actions rarely jam. Neither do revolvers.
I just hope with all my heart that nothing happens to Trump and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they will try.
Moot point if the DVR system is operating on backup power and also powering the cameras.
Battery powered cameras were marketed to DIYers and renters to simplify installation (cabling can be complicated, and expensive if done by professional low voltage technicians...at least that’s what they want you to think). I never considered them viable; proof is in the OP, insofar as serious security is concerned.
There are many options for installing cables without major modifications to structures, but the larger questions of security go much deeper than wired/wireless...
Bottom line: Wireless is still viable for renters and residents, but clearly it is advisable to have at least one wired camera.
The MO the past few years for disabling any residential cameras and alarms systems has been to pull the electric meter.
Wires.

That’s good. But if you’re dead...?
