This is the reason that all of mine are hardwired (literally) through the roof. Obviously more timeconsuming to do but the signal is way more responsive than wifi (esp. when my wifi bandwidth drops due to giant periodic cloud backups or multi-gigabyte PS5 update file downloads) and I wanted to make sure that all of the video is shunted to cloud and local secure storage in whatever seconds it might take for an attacker to physically disable the camera. Dozen cables down and into my router and switch in the mancave but it is what it is.
On top of that, having a bunch of cameras on wifi is a good way to flood the spectrum and make it useless for normal wireless devices. Rule of thumb for network devices: Unless it is really used as mobile, wire it.
Can't you do both so that a physical cut don't stop the cam?
