So I need to install a security camera system. The property is rather large at around 150 ft by 100 ft and it encompasses indoor and outdoor areas that need cameras.
Looking to put in 6-10 cameras and was thinking of going wireless with the netgear Arlo Pro any recomendations. Anyone have this. What happens if the wifi goes out is the camera effectively down?

Wireless is shit. Do PoE.

>wireless
lol no

In my experience, consumer-grade stuff is shit. Overpriced for what you get, and they lack a lot of features.
I'm running a Hikvision system here. Been happy wtih them.
don't do any IP cameras
they're all insecure shit
watch a few presentations from shakacon, defcon, blackhat, or similar if you don't believe me

I installed a couple of those for work, actually. I'm impressed with the picture quality and feature set, given that they were only like $80/each.

What kind of cameras should I do

Good, cheap, pretty. Pick two.
>>1188202
anything not IP
or if you do do IP, put them on a separate network not on the internet
>>1188149
get poweline ethernet adapters if you're on the same circuit

I have a VLAN on my network for the cameras.
Firewalled from internet except for what it needs to send me alerts.
Internally it's a little more open, allowing me to stream feeds and manage the equipment. VPN lets me remote in from elsewhere and deal with things.
But your typical home networking equipment doesn't support VLANs, so ... good luck. Use strong passwords and install your own certificates.
You won't get video resolution or features out of an analog system that you get with IP/digital equipment.

strong password and encryption don't matter. most of these devices have command injection bugs - unauthed HTTP requests just get chucked into system() as root

How to inject across vlan? Hop?
>>1188244
Plenty of open source router firmwares out there that do vlans and vpn's just fine.
