That's not strictly true. If you check out the Panasonic BL-C30 (link above) you will see that its wireless function supports WEP. I concede that WEP is not the best form of security, certainly not as good as WPA/PSK, but it's certainly good enough to exclude the casual intruder, and cause a headache for a professional hacker.Of course, I may just be talking b****cks!0 -
I guess I could just use a bit of CAT5? I reckon I'll need about 8 cameras and some will need to be about 100m from the house. I guess that's stretchin it for CAT5 or wifi?0
