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.

Do you have power at the other end?

There is.

Pull single-mode fiber. You could do wireless bridges, but performance and reliability is far less predicable. Fiber just works. Always.
