You could set up an alert for "hey, all my security cameras just misteriously disconnected"...

Not advocating for wireless security solutions, just saying it's not so hopeless.

    That would definitely be a good approach if you were stuck with the wireless option. Im sure some software may address those disconnections in just the way you describe.

    My responses have been looking at the technology broadly - in the way I might if someone asked me for my opinion prior to investing in gear. People frequently overestimate the effort required to achieve a bypass of a security device. So my goal was to provide some core knowledge.

    I do like the suggestion though- it may help somone improve their own existing setup 👍
