    Why do so many people here dislike Wi-Fi cameras?

    Honestly the conduit point makes way too much sense. Feels like modern houses are full of smart devices now but still not really designed for future wiring at all

    Why do so many people here dislike Wi-Fi cameras?

    Why do so many people here dislike Wi-Fi cameras?

    onestly I didnt even think about the buffering side before this. Most reviews online just talk about image quality and never really explain why wifi can become unstable after adding more cams. This thread probably teach me more than few youtube videos already
