It's even easier to cut the Internet cables going into a house.
If I had a PoE surveillance system I'd have it saving to a local server.
I got great pictures of the people breaking into my van. It did nothing to help catch them.
Never lived somewhere with buried infrastructure huh?
This but unironically. Burying lines costs money and who is going to spend it?
Uh, no it doesn't? Just use a shovel, wedge open the dirt like 6-12 inches, and Bob's your uncle. I recommend also putting in conduit so you can fish another line if you ever need to.
On asphalt and concrete?
I would reply, but you clearly are more interested in making your own answers for yourself.
At least with my setup, I get a notification from Unifi basically immediately if my internet/power goes down. With all my POE being run through my walls and attic as well, I don't really have to worry about individual cables being cut.
At some point when I have enough money to consistently eat dinner again, I would like to get a secondary wan through a satellite internet provider specifically for when my main internet goes down.
