Cannot tell you how many uncomfortable conversations I have had trying to explain that you still need to run cables for power to wireless cameras (the outdoor cams work off of solar quite well, though).

They're wireless, not wirefree.
None of the wireless cameras at my house have power cables. They run for months on a charge.
Our bullet cams pull a steady 30W ad they record 24/7 (factory floor). Our newer 4k and PTZ cams are coming in pulling nearly 60W.
Same with game cameras.

But resolution + recording time matter.
