There was a thread I thought was in the computer/gaming sub forum but maybe it was just in off topic where we discussed security cameras. It was a good and pretty lengthy thread.

I use Hikvision currently at my primary home. Been looking to upgrade the system with equipment from LTS Security or maybe even Reolink. LTS Security uses the Hikvision hardware but flash in their own in house software plus LTS is US based.

The advantage with wired connectivity, particularly with Ethernet cabling, is consistency/stability in the data connection and the ability to power the cameras over the same Ethernet cable. This allows a lot more flexibility in placing cameras versus having to depend on a solar panel/rechargeable battery setup or looking for a location with a nearby power outlet. But if wireless provides you the flexibility you need, I wouldn't discount its use due to any security risks. Just use the latest encryption standard (minimum WPA2) with a strong passphrase. If someone has the skills to overcome that then you have bigger things to worry about
