While wireless-battery operated cameras are convenient, they come at the cost of many downsides.

One example is that wireless battery security cameras need to be convenient to put up and take down so you can easily recharge them. This makes it easy for a thief to yank them off their mount with enough force, so we always recommend wired cameras where possible.
