No, they are not "powered over the ethernet wire" because they do not use ethernet cable. These use the older BNC cables (think round plugs). The BNC cables are harder to run as they are bigger than an ethernet cable and A LOT bigger than an ethernet cable before the plug is attached. Its very misleading of them to not include the rear picture of the DVR which would have easily tipped you off to this not using POE.

It comes with two power bricks. One for the DVR and the other has 4 male/female ends to connect to the second brick and each of the 4 60' cables. No power needed at the camera locations or something extra to buy. What you need is included in the kit.
