This has been my experience. In a year of use I've had 0 problems with PoE cameras and maybe 2-3 disconnects on the doorbell over wifi.



Appreciate the feedback, glad to hear that I am an anomaly. The camera is on WiFi and I have a mesh network with multiple UniFi APs. Both get good signal where the camera is located. Even in the same room as the AP my max uptime is about 1 day before it disconnects.


I ended up making a dedicated 2.4GHz-only SSID for my wifi cameras, which seems to have helped. I think forcing them to 2.4GHz, at least for my house RF situation, was the thing that helped the most.
