After reading about the benefits of wired PoE vs WiFi security cameras here, last week we upgraded our cameras from the older Ring system I had put together to a PoE Reolink 4K system. We also had some Ethernet jacks installed since the installer was also able to do that.

It's a MUCH better system that has 24/7 NVR recording, integrates with HA, and no more Ring subscription. We are getting older and I feel this is a much safer system for us. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has posted information about doing this.
