Rory,

The highest end of this industry is doing a lot of IP video right now,
both wireless and hardwired.   Your market doesn't seem to warrant the
use of this technology, so I'm not suprised you don't know much about
it.  As CCTV becomes even more integrated into facility control, IP is
the natural common infrastructure.  In the coming years, IP video will
become more mainstreamed and NVR's and RVR's will replace DVR's as the
industry standard more medium to highend applications.

There are some very high-end wireless and wired IP products designed
for the security market.  Here's one of the most advanced:

You claim that wireless is limted and should only be used as a last
resort. Why? Boviously, the type of products influences the answer to
this question.  At the highest end of the market, these wireless
products may be more reliable than wired systems.  They are certianly
more flexible and powerful.
