Personally powerline is evil, generates broad band radio frequency
interference. Tell her that the Pi has limited storeage and that if
she wants to watch recordings of 
the hole is required.

Or wait until she goes out for half a day and just do it. Only needs
to be a 6 mm hole to get the cable through, check carefully for any
other services hidden in the wall mind. If you have the abilty to fit
RJ45 plugs do that to the free end. Slightly more acceptable might be
a modular networking face plate on a surface box (or plasteboard
flush box if the wall is platerboard) to just plug a patch lead into.
Locate the hole box and cable route so it's out of sight and don't
use a bright red cable...  B-)
