    You would need a Poe switch  to power your cameras .... PC world around £40

    if wireless is your only option  then look at the Google nest or the netgear arlo 

    but your problem then is the wireless side ...... You could always move your router to outside of building 

    Cheers for that.
    With this scenario....4 cameras via POE, with 1 cable from POE direct to router....would this give me 4 different addresses for each camera in the router devices, or just 1 address?
    So basically what i'm asking is would i be able to add 4 cameras to my NVR in the UK through the one POE in Cyprus or would it only give me one address?

    Cool. That will save me money on purchasing another NVR for the property in CY.

    "cables don’t need to be attached to walls to be a eyesore 

    you can run them along the bottom "

    Yes but then they need to come up to the cameras. Anything surface or visible i'd rather not have.

    If i have to run cable for a power supply to 4 camera's, then i may as well run a Cat 5 over POE. If that will become the case somehow, can the POE simply connect to the router to give 4 different addresses for 4 cam's or will it only give 1 address?
    Thanks.

    Ok it makes sense to stay with hikvision and have your home and villa on same system. 

    But again wireless systems don’t work and are nothing but problems 

     

    with cat5 why do you think the only way is around the wall so you can see the cable ?

    also hikvision do a tiny ptz the size of palm of hand which means it can protect the area you want but from a different camera position so no hard cable runs 

    also staying with hik you can also record cameras at uk home which does away with your cloud needs and control the cameras

    Thanks again for your help tomcctv
    Are you saying that i only need the one NVR in UK and possible to connect the cams in Cyprus to the same system? Never thought of that or the possibility of it.
    How would this work with the cam's in CY?

    The problem with Cat 5 or any cabling (Cat 5 or PSU for power etc) is there is no way of coming out of the property and to the cam's without drilling/damaging either the internal & external walls & having some sort of enclosure (trunking or conduit) visible and coming down walls. Hence the preference of total wireless & battery powered. I know that this type of setup is not recommended or reliable & hardwired is much better as that's what i'm using now in the UK.

    How does this Hik tiny ptz work then & do you know a model no. for it?

    I mentioned a cloud as i was not aware of the possibility to have both properties on the same system in UK. If this can be done.

    Hi. Yes there are cameras like that. 4g solar but expensive and expensive to run. 

    But what you are asking for is everything installers will tell you to stay away from.

    you are looking for wireless battery which means your network wireless must have a good range 

    cloud systems .. cheap wireless systems you can bet go back to China server .... never a good thing or reliable 

     

    cable is is the best way with your own recorder 

    how big is your property.... can you see around your land standing at the house

    i would take your time and it will save you money 

    Thanks for your reply @tomcctv

    I have a Hikvision system at home in the UK all fully wired & powered with 4 cams & NVR but that was a relatively straight forward install. I would also much prefer to use the same in the Cyprus property.
    The property in Cyprus is built out of concrete & bricks with no cavities, loft space, or soffits etc, to easily run cables around the perimeter, which is why i'm looking for an easy screw up cam & go option. I have all tools for doing it hardwired including network plug & cable crimp tools & testers etc but just not an easy job to do without running a type of enclosure all the way around the property which will be an eyesore & still leaves me with how to get to an electrical point to power & TV/screen to view from NVR. This will end up damaging some walls etc & again, unsightly trunking or conduit inside the house.
    I wouldn't like to go solar even though there are 300 days of sunshine a year out there so looking at a rechargeable battery option similar to one of the ring doorbells on the market. Drop out & charge overnight & replace. I'm just hoping there's an easy magical answer from a unicorn option which is why i enquired. :-)
    I have considered POE cams but again the wiring is the problem.

    I have an EZVIZ EZGuard outdoor wireless security camera with 2-way audio. I'm wondering how does it work? It's connected to my Wi-Fi but does not show up as a device on the network. Also, I have no way of accessing it on my PC, but only thru the app on phone. Is some way to view the camera on a PC?

     

    Thanks

    Did you manage to sort out this problem. Are you impressed with the camera?

    Hi. New here and need advice please.

    Have a property in Cyprus that I'd like to fit cameras around the perimeter. Because of the way they are built, all brick and concrete, it's very difficult to pass cables through and I don't really want to run trunking or conduit around the whole property.

    Can anyone recommend any wireless, battery operated cameras that can also record to a cloud or NVR. Something that can be put up and set up via ip address and monitored via an app from overseas. Battery would need to have a decent lifespan too.

    Thanks for your help.

    Cam.
