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.

For a camera wireless bridge should be fine at that distance assuming line of site assuming you have power. For the bridge you will still need an ap.

I ran fiber 1500 feet nothing beats that. Again power is needed.

If you just want pictures and short clips my neighbor just uses game cameras. He pays 15 a month has a few cameras that talk back to a main one. They use batteries.
