You also want the holy grail.
24/7 use will require some hefty batteries and daily recharge,
especially if you want to power illuminators for night time use.
Wireless and PTZ would also add more load to the batteries.
Simpy put, you will have to run some form of cable to the camera, either
power and wireless or POE, but you;re still looking at a few hundred pound
What is the camera going to be used for?
I work for a CCTV company and what you ask for is certainly possible but
the 3 people that have asked (seriously) about it were put off by the price.

We do have a large range of the (quality) cameras available at:

Don't be fooled by the cheap Planet, Linksys, D-Link, etc cameras, you
really do get what you pay for.
