How do CCTV cameras work?
I'm an amateur on cameras, but I want to get a setup in my neighbourhood. I'd like some wireless PTZ Network Camera that can go a long distance with a decent video streaming quality to my PC.
1. How do the cameras run? What is the power source?
2. Which one would be ideal to get?
3. What would I need to get the full setup running?
4. Once it is running, would I view the video stream via a web browser? Or software application?
How does it all work? I can't connect wires everywhere from the camera to the router, so how do they run? Where can I get one/them?
Please explain
