One piece of advice - when it comes to privacy and security, wired > wifi. I always recommend wiring (PoE). Jammers have recently become cheap and accessible, and burglars can now turn off whole neighborhoods.

I absolutely do. I don't find wireless cameras to be a compelling product in any personal or professional use case, but I see their appeal. I only used the thing because it was a gift.

When it comes to baby monitors, which the device I had was marketed as, I actually prefer analog (because static is better than non-functional) with a dedicated receiver, but I'll use just about anything without a TCP/IP stack :)
