[QUOTE="Fergus McMenemie"] By all means do that, but realise that to all intents and purposes it makes absolutly zero difference to anybody running a sniffer of any kind. Your network will be found irrespective of whether SSID is hidden or not. Hidding your SSID offers zero protection. The suggestion about wireing everthing is good. You should consider cable where possible or convenient. (You are running power to cameras after all, so POE could be an option) If I was interested in 'hackers' accessing my network I would be configuring and hard coding the list of accepted wireless addresses the WAP woud talk to. If I was interested in 'baddies' accessing my property I would consider how easy it would be for my camera system to be jammed.[/QUOTE] How do you propose to avoid MAC spoofing then?
