does this camera only run on battery or can it be plugged in?

I believe it can run off a USB but no AC adaptor cane with it.... I do paranormal investigating and I like this cam for my investigations (With extra IR and full spectrum lights)

You can plug it in if you do what I did and buy a usb/ac adapter. The camera comes with a usb cable.

It can be plugged in via USB as a webcam, for file transfer, or printing, but there's no way to use it in "normal" camera mode without the battery. USB is the only external power source - and works without the battery - but only as an external webcam connected to a computer.

Don't buy it. The infrared night vision is awful the playback volume is worse and the picture quality considering the money spent on it is terrible.

Only on battery's I really suggest to get an extra battery u can only record for about 30 to 40 minutes and takes around 3- 4 hours to charge but u will see orbs moving through the room with this camcorder I also suggest getting a ir light it will make a dark room light but only through the camcorder its a very good camera hope this helps u out

Just to be very clear the camera does not have a "charger," it has a power adapter and should be plugged in most of the time, but it will also work with AA batteries. It does not charge anything when it is plugged in. It does not work the same way as the monitor unit, which truly does have a rechargeable internal battery.

It requires a 12 V DC power supply which usualy comes with cameras bought at Amazon, If not they are only about $5.00 on line PS: Last thing you want to do is connecting this camera directly to a 120V AC outlet (it will fry the camera )

Yes it does. If the battery runs out you can use the cord, attach it to the camera and have it plugged into the wall and run the camera at the same time. The cord length isn't very long but still possible. We have done this. We also bought extra batteries.

It must be plugged in with the included power supply (wall-wart) -- it cannot receive power over ethernet like some cameras, and there is no internal battery option.

The wireless camera must be plugged in. The video monitor does run on battery in addition to plug in. The wireless camera comes with 6 ft power cord and an additional 6 ft extension cord. I recommend purchasing a 12 ft 1.3 mm DC power extension cable from Amazon.

Yes, the camera functions normally while plugged in. I'm pretty sure it actually charges the battery even while recording.

This is NOT battery operated (it requires to be plugged to an outlet). I not 100% sure, but don't think it can be used as an outdoor camera.

I don't know the type of battery in the camera, but it does recharge when you are plugged into a 12V power source. Mine has lasted about 2 hours while I piddled with some of the pictures and it didn't stop. I don't know the actual run time of the battery

No, it takes rechargeable batteries-the camera comes with a battery. The battery has a long life, have had no issue with ours.

As far as I can tell, the only power source for this camera is via a wall outlet. There are no batteries. Not truly wireless, as it does require the cord for power. I did shop around for another option that used batteries but was unable to find an adequate solution.

The camera has rechargeable battery (similar to a cell phone battery type) that you can charge via a special USB cable that comes with the camera. The cable will allow you to plug it into a computer or an electrical outlet.

I does need a power source in order to operate. Find an object to hind the power cable i.e. plant, bookshelf, vinyl tube...There is no battery in the camera.

it does require outlet power but it can run off of battery - but there is no other sign of a camera
