Then several of the cameras became inoperable a few months later. It is not known if the increase of our wifi became over-loaded with the new setup of the COVID screening tent nearby. We are seeking a contractor that has the experience and know how to effectively get our cameras up and running as soon as possible. We had a few quotes from small businesses; however, the exact need was not known leaving the possibility of having increase costs after the contract would be awarded.
