My 103 year old Mother lives by herself. I want to put monitoring cameras inside her home, that also have 2-way voice. Her house is 120 feet long, and the modem in about right in the middle. My main concern is reliability. I know, from other threads here, that there are a number of you that know a lot more about this type of thing than I do.
In reading the reviews on the wireless cameras, it seems like the number one complaint is dropping the signal, and losing picture.
Since my main want is reliability, and considering the length of her house, I'm wondering if we would be better off getting wired cameras, wired into wifi extenders. The way her house is built, with massive insulation in the attic, and little space for a person to do anything, hardwiring everything would be very difficult.
Please, consider that I know next to nothing about this stuff, other than what I've read on the internet in the past hour, or so. Also, I don't really care about trying to save money, but we have no need for a monthly service, or any kind of security, other than picture, and voice. We do want multiple cameras, easily accessible to our phones.
Any ideas, and suggestions are much appreciated.
