If not how often do you repalce the batteries?

The 1080p systems are nice, but damned expensive.

Yup. They would be wired regardless. But power is easier than CAT5.
And you're right, the HD stuff is really expensive. Have to check out the cheaper stuff I guess.
Same issue with the wiring for me though. No CAT5. But power has to be done anyway, and it won't be that hard.
How reliable are those powerline ethernet things? The devices that carry data through electrical wires? Cause for me, it's either that, or WiFi cameras on a separate wireless router.
