It drives me up a fucking wall that WiFi is the de-facto local device communication protocol. There are so many reasons not to use it.
Most home automation stuff seems to use Zigbee. Doesn't have a lot of bandwidth though, so not useful for video.
And frankly, even if you have a video, the police around here won't do shit with it unless someone has been killed.
Zwave is great too, but still no video. Wired is the answer.
