Wired PoE cameras are ideal for poor WiFi environments, and professional installation quotes typically average around $175 per camera for PoE systems versus $125 per camera for wireless systems — the difference largely reflects the cable-running labor involved. If you’re comfortable with drilling and routing cables through walls, PoE offers superior long-term reliability. If you need a quick, flexible solution and have strong WiFi coverage, wireless cameras may be the better choice.

Many network cameras have a built-in card slot. This is cost-effective and works independently of the network, but if someone steals the camera, they steal the footage.
