I want to set up security cameras around the perimeter of my home and possibly a couple inside. The problem I am encountering is what type of system do I use. I'm frustrated with the term "wireless" because I find that even wireless requires a power source. This to me is more daunting than running cables because of having to install outlets vs just trying to hide the cable. I already have a monitored security system but the company I am with quoted an absurd (to me) installation price, a higher monthly fee and required an extended contract duration. I'm pretty handy when it comes to DIY but why go to the trouble of running cable if I don't have to.
Can anyone provide some guidance as to alternatives? Thanks for the help
