Default Wireless HDMI (Hikvision)

My Hikvision NVR has an HDMI output and is located in the attic. My main TV is downstairs (2 storey house) and I guess about 45 ft away. Attic is insulated, any walls in the way are stud partition and floor is carpet/wood/plasterboard.

What I want to do is to get a wireless transmitter to transmit HDMI to a receiver by the TV, which I can then use a spare HDMI port to flip between TV to NVR/Camera when the mood/need takes me.

Anyone have any experience of this and can provide any recommendations?

Just thinking about it, I can probably use a normal HDMI cable to extend the NVR in the attic to directly over the TV & thus shorten the distance, so it would only have 1x ceiling and 1x floor/ceiling to pass through.

Running an HDMI or any other cable is not an option I'm afraid.

cant you connect it to a wifi router and that way you can just connect from a smartfone or tablet/pc to view the camera.

I can already view it on the iVMS app "if" I have my phone/tablet to hand. However, I want to be able to just flip the remote on my tv to get an immediate view of all the cams.

There's an audible warning on the drive when a line is crossed, so its to see who/what has crossed it.

As above. Wireless HDMI or 1080P transmitters are still very pricey. Too bad you can't at least run some CAT5/6 to the right spot, as that would drop your outlay to the £40 mark for a converter/transmitter.

You can get quite long (30ft) HDMI cables? Also HDMI over Cat5. I'm trying to avoid cabling...
