How are the romote cameras powered? How often do the power sources need to be replaced?

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!

The FI8910W cameras don't have an internal battery. They are powered via a wall plug in transformer that comes with each unit.

by electricty. replace power cord as needed. My husband and I don't suggest buying these. These are not worth the money we paid. They keep breaking and Amazon isn't helping us with them.

You will need to run cables - however, FYI, even "wireless" cameras still require a power source.

You have to have power from somewhere, which means running a wire to the camera. Agasio can best tell you what is required, but you presumably need a 12V power line, most likely transformed from an AC power source. If you want something than runs off a rechargeable power cell, this isn't it.

The cameras are powered with a plug-in transformer which has approximately a six foot low voltage cord. They do offer extension cords to allow for a greater distance to the plug. Good little cameras. I started using them wi-fi, but found plugging them into router gave better quality.

Power supply that comes with the camera plugs into 120volt, but camera operates at a lower voltage. Motion is usually detected by the DVR if I'm not mistaken.

Good Morning, The power is run through the cord that hooks the camera to the DVR. No additional power is required.

The power source could be any rechargable 12v battery. The big issue would be the DVR. If you want to try a body cam, I am testing a VCC-003-MUVI. I hang it on a buttonhole with a section of paperclip. The day quality is very good. Night inside quality depends on available light.

The cameras have no battery life. They have to be plugged in to a 110 outlet.

the power source is the recorder itself. they plug into that along with the video cables. the hard drive has to be plugged in.

Runs off power from the XLR cable. So the camera, or whatever its plugged into, will be powering the microphone.

Hello, the camera can be powered by PoE or by the 12v power adapter that is provided in the packaging.

Yes the cameras need power. The monitor is wireless and has stand/dock with battery back up for several hours use. Snow fall sets off camera recording. Otherwise the picture quality is good as well as distance.

We have had Canon PowerShot cameras at our Site for years. We use them in Security, Maintenance, Production and in the Warehouse. We always purchase an extra battery so that when one requires recharging another one is available. I am not sure what the life of a battery is, but we have never had to purchase replacements. Just recharge and ready to go. We have always replaced the camera before the battery requires replacing. Camera replacement happens sometimes if the camera walks or if we purchase a newer model. I don't believe that you have to worry about battery life. However if you have to replace a battery, the generic ones are very inexpensive. We have had Canon PowerShot cameras at our Site for years.

The power through the cable depends on the source, where you hook it up. It can be "switched" or "unswitched" meaning the power source is controlled by the ignition switch. Either way, if the camera is on, it will drain the battery, over time. Hope this helps.

The camera itself needs to be plugged in. But the monitor can run on battery power, mine has lasted around 10 hours before we needed to plug it in.

Most cameras will use less than a half an ampere (500 milliamperes) at 12 volts, so the power supply can handle up to 10 cameras. Check the camera specs for milliamperes and keep the total under 5000 for this power supply.
