On my rear sloping roof extension, I can slightly lift up all the edge tiles (about 15 of them) and the edge cement moves up and has a few small cracks. Do I have to knock out all the old cement & then re do it or can I run a small bead of mastic along it? Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks for your replies. Wired does seem to be the way to go. What is your experience of POE IP cameras verses coaxial type? What Brand of IP camera is generally good value for money? - I probably would be looking at HD (1080i)
