Putting on my black hat, I _love_ people using wireless for 'security'. I just
carry
along my spark-gap jammer and it's instantly all stopped.

When you look at the cost of fiber and the related hardware necessary to manage
it, the point to point approach is a lot more attractive and quicker/easier to
install, set up, and manage.
That and it’s not like I have to have blazing bandwidth to the garage, either.
Right now it’s working fine
I have similar considerations on the great northern estate with our barn. What
with everything (eventually) having metal roofs I'm thinking that I'll run
fiber between the buildings when I run power to the barn. That way I need never
worry about bandwidth between house and barn or interference
Because concrete and pavers.
I can do a point to point setup in an hour or two. To run a cable I would be
jackhammering up parts of a concrete pad and ripping up professionally
installed pavers. Nope.

For 40 feet why not just run a cable?

True, but in this case it was more a matter of distance from the house and
getting a WiFi signal out to the buildings (from the house).
I haven’t done it yet, but at the Flagstaff house, even though it’s only about
40 feet or so between the structures, I’ll be doing point to point to get a

In this day and age there isn't much excuse for not having backup for your
wifi. It'd be far cheaper, long term, to put a UPS on the wifi router and cable
modem than to use cellular data for your cameras.
Is everybody's local Facebook page full of halfwits? Ours sure is. We had a
power problem
Javelina? Is that the lance thrown by female track and field athletes?

Don’t need the camera to see all the local wildlife, as it just wanders by
without any concern for my presence.
Javelina, elk, deer, etc. The local deer population uses our backyard as a day
care center for some reason. The does come by with their fawns, leave them in
the back yard, and go off
Coyotes, racoons, coywolves, foxes, and perps.

I’ve seen motion detectors tied to sprinklers to keep vermin out of your yard.
That’s pretty much a “scorched Earth" approach.

It’s been in service for over a year now, and I’ve done nothing to it. Through
the management interface I can “scan” and see everything it does, as well as
define where it’s going to detect motion (or not.) Because it has an almost 360
degree view and it’s mounted on a wall about 16’ above
Do you find a need to clean the motion sensor?
I have LED floodlights with motion sensors outside the garage, and they have
developed the same problem that caused me to replace their incandescent
predecessors: I have to walk up in front of them, jump up and down and wave my
arms to get them to
The one I have on the courtyard is this one, integrated with LED floodlights:

Works great! I chose it mainly because I wanted to be able to have on-demand
lighting whenever someone comes out of the house or garage at night.
Yeah ideally you'd want a wide-angle motion sensor and then a camera that could
automatically track and zoom on the moving object. Those are probably expensive
though.

You need a PTZ camera with motion detection. That’s one in the little “dome”
that rotates. There are limitations wit the optics that would probably prevent
you from finding a camera that could cover that large of an area. I’ve done it
both ways, with two camera overlapping on the driveway of
That's right . I forgot about that.

Understood. However, he’s concerned about the security of his outbuildings, and
if he’s reliant on wifi and power goes out, he’s got nothing. It records events
and sends alerts. Unless you were streaming video from it constantly the amount
of data used would be relatively small. I just checked
Don't know if I would go for that. It doesn't have
wifi so you have to keep paying for Data all the time.
