I guess the first question is wired or wifi.

Dude next door spent thousands on a proper wired system and 2 weeks later both his cars were stolen heh (shouldn't laugh could happen to anyone). Insurance he said still played very hardball on the claim even with footage.

I sort of gave up on thinking about it after that.

I suspect a well equipped thief will spot wifi cameras and jam those frequencies but I have no data to back this up, probably safe unless you have the world's largest diamond on display. :)

Wow that’s unlucky! I have no idea where to start, but probably battery wifi. Easier to install. Agree they’re a chance that any footage won’t make a difference, but at least there would be less of a chance of crooks getting away with it if there’s some kind of images. And perhaps it would be a deterrent if they are in visible locations.
