[MBZ] Wireless/Wired Surveillance Cameras

Couple of attempted break-ins in the neighborhood recently, both on rental homes. One was across the street, and the owner was still in it while it's being listed to rent (they are moving out of state and are going to rent the house for a year to be sure they want to stay where they're going.)

Thanks for the info, Grant. Sounds like a hard wired system, which I can't use without some major construction, unfortunately. The back part of my house has ceilings that are on the roof joists, so there is no room whatsoever for me to get in that area to run cables. As a result, my only optio

Also, "wireless" still needs power, and unless you are going to rig up a solar call and battery, you'll be running wire for power. Since you're running that wire, you might as well pull the connection wire at the same time, hence no "wireless" after all. On Wed, Feb 12, 2014 at 10:16 PM, Fmiser
