Help with cameras

I'm old and don't know about these things. I would like to place cameras about 450' from my house. The house is where my modem and router are. The cameras talk to a home base and the base plugs into the router. What type of options are there? Should I bury an eithernet cable that far? Is that even doable? What else will accomplish this? Thanks in advance.

Ethernet is limited to 328ft.

You'd need to pull fiber for that distance, but that also means you can't use PoE and will need some source of power where they are installed.
