    Setting up a Remote IP Camera(s) and NVR at a different locations

    Hello Kevin, The only reason we are looking at WiFi Cameras, is that (1) reasonable cost, (2) lots of available "free" wifi connections from local homeowners all depending on where the cameras are set, and (3) available local power. Steve
