Watching the demo video it says "the battery lasts up to 3 hours". Can you also plug it in?

Mine is plugged in all the time. Picture quality is great and in color. Not sure where I would need to use it without plugging into a power source. May be a feature usable during power outages.

I leave my camera plugged in 24/7 and it works perfectly. I have to periodically readjust the camera position because it gets moved when we do housecleaning.

Yes you can keep it plugged in but the picture is not good it shows up black and white. No color.

Yes, the monitor will normally be in the cradle which is plugged into an outlet.

The battery is internal and can only be plugged in for six hours at a time. If its plugged in too long, it will short out.

The battery lasts around 3-4 hours fully charged. I found it very useful to keep it plugged in while using it at home.

You can't, because the rechargeable battery is built into the unit and isn't designed to be removed by the consumer. I find the battery lasts around 3-4 hours on a full charge.

Nope. Mine lasts 2 - 3 weeks on a 24 hour charge and if yours is new and does not hold a charge, it is likely defective. Return it before the warranty runs out.

For as long as the battery will last. I took a video of a play that lasted over an hour.

Wow thats crazy, my daughter uses hers for 6 to 7 hours straight, on netflix,youtube,games or apps. She doesnt put it down, she does EVERYTHING on it and only has to fully charge it at night before going to bed, that takes a couple hours though, at least 2 but not sure. If yours is only good for 3 hours thats a big problem , thats not even half of how long its supossed to go, usually when a product says the battery lasts a certain amount its usually not even close to that but I was very surprised when ours actually lasted the 7 hours it promised, and Im telling you its on streaming videos and movies for the hole 7 hours and it has never shut down,the lowest it got was 8% and than it took hours to fully charge it again.

I suppose it depends on how intensively it's used. I play games for about 30 minutes every day and the charge lasts about 4 days. Streamed video for more than 1 hour and it might have consumed 40% of battery life.

The Battery will only last about 45 minutes with this model. You will not use all the memory because the battery will go dead first.

It should work for that long. It works better plugged in. I wouldn't leave it going for more than 4 hours with good batteries.

No, I keep mine plugged in whenever I'm not using it and it still plays for 7 hours or more on battery.

If you play continuously it will run out in a few hours. The only way I can charge it is to plug it into the computer. The screen has no backlight so its hard to look at to play anyways.
