Yes but the camera should be in a place that can’t be physically tampered with easily since someone could theoretically unplug the camera and plug into your home network and see all your computers or other devices as if they had stolen your WiFi password. A small risk but it’s better to hardwire it somewhere they would need a ladder to get to or get a camera system that connects to a central box inside the house.

i know nothing; would a hardwired connection from the cameras to the router solve this?

Well, if it’s not on a WiFi network, it’ll be fine. CCTV is a great example of this. Just wire up some cameras, encrypt the harddrive and put it somewhere difficult to get to. Only way to disable all cameras at once would be an EMP. There are kits for a few hundred $ and all the data stays local

Or just flip off the main switch on your breaker if they can get to that.

Totally. Get a PSU? Or use solar with a PSU. Or batteries. Always a mitigation for the mitigation lol

yes, assuming the cables are inaccessible from outside. otherwise it would be easy to cut them.

If you are close enough to cut cables, they already have you on video.
