@mdunning_323765759099098, Thank you for the help, mdunning! I've pulled the trigger on a Reolink system and plan to "grow" into a few wireless cameras at the barn. My delivery of the NVR and PoE cameras (plus one "experimental" WiFi camera) has arrived. I'll wire these up and see if I want to invest in additional WiFi's for the barn.

Thanks again for the information and suggestions. I'll be on YouTube consistently now, since Reolink tech support is only available via overnight email.

Regards!

Thanks for the fast response, Fiona. I have a few follow-up questions:

1. I've read that battery-powered WiFi cameras cannot connect to a PoE NVR. If not, how do I connect them to my PoE system?
2. Is it feasible to have a second NVR, such as down at the barn, to monitor the barn cameras, then run an HDMI to a monitor at the house? Is that feasible? Is it recommended?
3. Is the NVR controlled over the WiFi and/or internet by a computer in the home? Or do it need to be connected directly with a mouse and monitor to be controlled?

Thanks in advance for your quick response and patience. My new system is arriving soon and I need help in setting it up correctly.

I'm looking to design a security camera system for my house and barn (150' from the house). WiFi at the barn is spotty, even with an extender. Should I wire to barn with CAT 6, wire to the barn with CAT 7, or just add a second NVR at the barn? Do you need line-of-sight to the NVR to control the NVR? I apologize for all the questions.
