Getting back to the question at hand - I've never seen 12 volt camera systems, but you should be able to run cameras off of a couple 12 volt batteries and an inverter. If you get an IP camera, all you need to do is run a Cat 5/6 ethernet cable to the camera. The Power Injector would be near the inverter. You can get IP Cameras with SD cards to record onto so you don't need a DVR/NVR or computer to record video on. You probably wouldn't need more than a 200 watt inverter to power the camera. If you can add a solar panel to charge the battery bank, you should be set.
I have 8 Reolink IP Cameras (some bullet and some dome) and they work very nicely day and night. I have mine hooked up to a PC, so no SD card, but they do sell models with SD Cards. I bought mine for about $75/each. The ones with SD cards are a little more expensive.
