A lot of these run off battery too. Yes once a month or more you have to
bring it down plug it in and charge the battery...

Because MOST consumer based security cameras are WiFi based. Any
camera running off ethernet/PoE is going to an NVR and they don't
typically sell camera systems like this at Bestbuy or Target. It's
Nest, Arlo, Ring, etc. as that's what's easy for most people.
Finding a power outlet to plug into is easier than running ethernet to
cameras back to a central location.
We too have enough calls of people expecting WiFi cameras to work
hundreds of feet away from their router. Or we install WiFi inside a
shed but they don't tell us they want to install cameras OUTSIDE
through steel siding and then call us when the cameras won't connect
and we see a -90 signal to the managed router.

I don't get the wifi camera thing, you're already running
power, so why not take the time to wire the cameras up correctly?

Rural customer wants our internet. ok, no problem, we do
that all the time. The ONLY reason they want the
connection from us, is so they can put RING cameras in
their steel barn 300' away from the house, and the kid at
best buy told them it would be fine because you just plug
them in and they connect to the wifi.
One of our property managers who we have several
connections to her buildings wants to put 30 cameras in at
2 MDU buildings in an office park. Both their camera
vendor and Comcast assured her that it would only require
a connection in one of the FACP rooms, and that the other
building 400' away, with the FACP Room on the opposite end
of the building would be able to 'ping off it' just fine.
I know comcast advertises their new wifi as Magic, but I
don't think even it could do that.
Am I the bad guy for dashing their hopes and dreams? I
consider it 'managing expectations' like 'If your
computer can't print to your printer, getting our
connection instead of a hotspot isn't going to help that'
