What cameras?
Do they work when the Powerline plugs are not involved? Connected directly to the router for example?
Your pictures will take time to arrive, while the admin people check that they don't show something naughty.

Right Gotcha! Yeah they work fine withough the powerline plugs. we can veiw them on the T.V they are attached to on the otherside of the house. The plugs just connect them up to the router so we can veiw them on any device.
