Cameras that require internet to connect to are a mistake, but cameras that use Wifi for local link are fine (wifi is perfect for this). And, having some way to connect remotely is a requirement, for most everyone.

Security system that can be jammed is a terrible idea. Cameras should be wired. Ideally on separate network and with battery backup.

Yeah first thing burglars are gonna do is jam your wifi camera so you don't have any video of them. Run cat-5 and get a PoE camera.

		And be sure your outdoor cameras are on an isolated VLAN so people can't just plug in to your home network.
