No. The power comes from where the DVR gets its power. Each camera has two wires, one for video and one for power. These wires gets attached to long extensions back to DVR.

You can have up to 4 cameras plug into one outlet, near the DVR. No outlet is needed near the camera location. Hope that helps

Yes. The included 60 ft cables contain both a video connection for the DVR and an electric power connection. The power cable will connect to a transformer that then plugs into an outlet.

Not close to cameras now. But. If I remember correctly, cameras connect via 110V line to a single box which is then connected to router. Good luck.

Yes the adapter is plugged into a 110 volt house outlet. The camera holds over 3000 pictures and on a trip it works well by charging every night.

Yes, it needs to be plugged in for power through a usb cable and charger. The video however is wireless and does not need to be plugged directly to the router or computer.

You have to have an AC outlet. I have several cameras outside. I had to drill a hole, run wire across my attic and then spice into the AC adapter in my den where they are all plugged into an AC power strip. If you have an AC adapter closer to your camera you may not need to go through all that, but you need AC power.

as others said, no you don't.Also, if you have the cameras next to an Ethernet outlet, the cameras will run off POE, then you don't need any adapters.

my cameras are 12 volt. I leave the normal power supply hooked to my cameras and just hook up the video input. I hope this helps.

Tha cameras are wireless as far as the video. But they are electric and need to be pluged into any electric socket. There is a small power reducer with a cord about 20 ft. that attaches from the socket to the camera.

The camera has about a six foot power cord which you can plug into any electrical outlet. I don't think you would have any problem if you plus the camera into an extension cord. But you shouldn't plug it into a surge protected power strip.

As an owner of one, yes, I plug it into house outlet rather than plugging the camera into the computer.

Yes. The camera needs to be plugged in to work since it does not work on a battery. The monitoring unit on the other hand works both on battery and charger so it can be carried without being plugged in.

They are plugged into an electrical outlet. These are great little cameras that we can look at from another location and they're set up to tell us if we've had a power outage and what their new IP address is. Love em!
