Re: store system - wired vs wireless ?

How about wired vs wireless ?
Wouldn't wireless be subject to jamming / interference ?
Opinions either way - Good points vs bad ?
Thanks

[ I stopped in there for coffee while the tech was there and he did not
have a clue about a PC/software - he was on the phone with the
distributor of the pc/camera system asking " how do I...?".  ( I think
this tech knew how to wire / install cameras) It seemed to me like their
hdd was full - so I checked in Windows Explorer and sure 'nuf it was.-
there was only 1mb free.  I told him to purge the old files: he didn't
know how to do that - so he got back on the phone and  I went off to
work for the day. The next time they had an issue ( the PC died) , they
knew that I worked on PC's and  they asked me if I could fix it rather
than dealing with/ paying that company again   I had them order the
power supply and I fixed the PC for them. Then they asked for my advice
about cameras etc - I didn't know but now want to learn - that's how I
got here.]
