Xfinity Security Cameras and xFi Pods
I'm trying to research reach prior to purchasing Xfinity security cameras. Here is my question - my home is fairly large 7,200 sq. ft. and the modem/router (owned by Xfinity) is on one corner of the house. I have 4 xFI Pods 2nd Genration. If I purchase the new 1080p security cameras would these connect to the new xFi Pods or they need stable covarage by the Xfinity gateway? The prior model 720p cameras, I was told by a Xfinity tech that will not connect to the pods.

Hey there @user_bea843, thanks for connecting with us here on the Xfinity Support Forums. This is a great question, and I hope this provides the answer you're looking for.
Supports 802.11n Wireless Standard. The 802.11n standard provides backward
compatibility with the 802.11b and g standards. The xCAM can work with all 802.11n,
802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations.
Wired and Wireless Network. The xCAM can be connected either with wire or
wirelessly to your network.
Meanwhile, the Sagemcom B1A xFi Pod 2nd Generation Device Information (XE2) listed below is:
Wi-Fi Radios
Channel BW
Bluetooth
CPU and Flash/RAM
Ethernet
Power Supply
Operating Temperature
So, with that said--while the pods are great--it may be better to have the cameras either hardwired or connected direct to the wireless network broadcasting from the gateway, especially for such a large house.
