[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3681768, member: 44288"] This is the type of system I am used to and retired a few years before the IoT really took over. Having said that, I do think the new stuff is better as far as quality and performance. The weak link is the internet connection which can just go away whenever it damn well wants to. How many times have you been working or watching internet TV and poof? Time after time after time I have installed these new systems and within 6 months something happens and they need the video. Guess what? Nothing. Just a black screen or the file is corrupt or it just failed to record when it was set on motion detection. That never happened on a hardwired system unless the camera died or power was lost. Now granted my involvement was when the technology was just coming out to the residential market. I'm sure it has improved since. [/QUOTE]
