At my old job we ended up finding out that one dude was essentially using the router login page to disable the cheap Wi-Fi cameras so he could mask when he came in to work and left so he could embellish his time cards. Boss noticed a pattern so he installed a manual timeclock and the embellishments slowed and eventually stopped.
