It is maybe an issue. So somebody opens the door phone, get's the
ethernet out and then connects to your network.<br>
<br>
It is no more an issue of telling your staff the wifi access
password and they tell their friend.<br>
<br>
I've seen a product where the anti tamper on the device connects
back to relay in the ethernet wire further back. With a latch on
failure. Or you could just put that cable into it's own vlan.<br>
<br>
<br>
If you chat to installers of many of these devices, they will
describe them as `access control` rather than `security`.<br>
<br>
Meaning, ok to stop a random wandering off the street. Not going to
stop a determined person.<br>
<br>
In my office, we use a 2N on the front door. But at night it (and
it's cat5) is covered by a locked security shutter.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
