purely for security reasons. The reason for having CCTV is for security, if you make it wireless, then anyone who wanted to view your CCTV system could if they tried hard enough!

where as a cabled network is much harder to
get into... also faster too

just my 2 cents worth :) cables faster and safer

lookin at your other psot, if your monitoring building sites, a wireless solution is easier to move once the building has been completed :) no nasty cables to take out!.........

always go for cabled solution though if the CCTV is going to be permanently installed
