    Yes. With WiFi cameras you don’t need to run any cable, just plug in to the nearest power outlet. That’s very appealing to people.

      Surprised they haven’t got them based on powerline (running a slightly worse ethernet though the electric lines). That way you’d still only need the one cable, and be able to lock people into your own powerline ecosystems.

        Power line Ethernet is actually more similar to wifi than Ethernet the way it works, it uses your power cables as an antenna. Probably won’t be jammed as easily though, you may need to plug the jammer into an outlet.
