cctv - Wireless from NVR to kitchen montior

[Minime46]

Hi all.

I have 5 hikvision cameras and hik recorder.

I need the NVR for 5 cameras in a locked unit in the office but want to display and monitor in the kitchen.

I have the Internet to the recorder via gigabit powerline adapter into a plug socket.

It's a very old house, no loft space to get through to kitchen, and the monitor is in the middle of the kitchen with 4 plug sockets on a pillar. Upstairs is a tiled floor. We do not wish for a cable outside all the way along to get to the kitchen... its a pretty long way.

Is it possible to put a mini nvr (not hikvision) behind the TV and use a powerline adapter in the plug socket... the mini nvr will not be recording. I'm unsure if there will be compatibility issues or if it's just a case of input the ip addresses and boom it will work?

If so can anybody recommend some small nvrs which are reliable... Will simply need lan and hdmi ports I guess...

My other thought was to use an android box and just use the hik connect app on that but that will only be as reliable as their Internet connection I guess, so the NVR should appear quicker and possibly crisper?

Any advice would but much appreciated. Just trying to learn. Cheers

Are the cameras directly plugged into the rear of your Hikvision NVR?
If so, they will be in a domain range managed by the NVR, and therefore difficult for a second NVR to find and display them - so probably best to use the Hik-Connect App on a tablet (or Android box to your monitor).
