This isn't quite the camera I purchased but, I use my mini cameras with this 12v battery pack.( DC 12V Portable 9800mAh Li-ion Super Rechargeable Battery Pack ) and am very happy with the results. It operates the camera all day. It can operate from 9 to 12 volts successfully.

Hey tick, my camera's are hard wired, which means I have to power them up with a 12v power supply (which was included). The wireless systems, a battery will be the power for the camera, and the base unit for most will be your 12v power supply or however the manufacturer sets the system up with. Basically with electronics is if its doing something, it needs power to do it. Same like us, we need food. However technology today uses alternate energy, but I'm getting off course so I'll end here. Hope I answered your question.The systemas a whole, I feel I got a lotta bang for the buck without spending a thousand. Zmodo support is excellent.

Yep just charged it off my laptop USB port this morning. Take a standard micro USB plug. Great camera. Just love it.

I have no idea. Although we still have the camera, it is currently with my colleague in California. Sorry.

I have no idea. The same day I received the camera I charged the battery fully. The camera failed as soon as I turned it on and tried to take a photo. I cannot recommend this camera at all.

Make sure ur AC Adaptor or Battery can Supply 12 volts and at least 400 Miliamps and u hav an Active Video signal Transmitting to the monitor. the monitor automatically shuts down all circuits cept the video processor to save power wen no video is present but wen a video signal is detected the monitor will turn on the Screen. this is a nice feature as i plan to use it as a remote Viewfinder for my Camera. Note on powered camera, all cameras r powered wen working and the Rear view cameras DO Not supply power thru their video outputs On the stripped end of the Power line the red wire is Positive Make sure ur AC Adaptor or Battery can Supply 12 volts and at least 400 Miliamps and u hav an Active Video signal Transmitting to the monitor. the monitor automatically shuts down all circuits cept the video processor to save power wen no video is present but wen a video signal is detected the monitor will turn on the Screen. this is a nice feature as i plan to use it as a remote Viewfinder for my Camera.

Hello,Thank you for your inquiry. The power for the camera is DC12V 1A, we have the power adapter send with it. You could use it directly.

1) Did you check to make sure you did not accidentally reverse the power/ground wires? 2) You said 18 channels - some cameras can consume a lot of power; Is your power supply adequately sized (plus some margin) to deliver power to all your cameras? To check this, I would unplug all cameras except for one. Then add in more cameras one by one. 3) Using a volt meter (and measuring resistance), did you check to make sure you do not accidentally have a short circuit somewhere? If your DVM shows 0, or something close to it, you might* have a short.

It is a proprietary 3.7V 900MAH rectangular battery (I don't believe that it is common to any other devices) that you can pick up here on Amazon or elsewhere online for a very reasonable price. There are even offers for dual batteries plus an external charger which would be quite handy since the only other way to charge is in camera. These batteries last about 1 1/2 to 2 hours of recording, about as much as will fit on a 16GB card (does not support class 10 cards, use a class 4 or 6). So yeah, get extra batteries and extra memory too, then set your camera to best quality and go take some great vids.

I recall a specification saying that the camera was 5 megapixels. Rather low, I'm not super happy with it.

The camera is powered by an AC power pack you have to plug into the wall. Any wire less camera will have to be plugged into some power source, be it batteries or AC. I recommend you look for a different wirer less camera. I bought two of these and both of them went out inside a month. The picture quality is not good at all.

It needs 12 volts DC from a mains adapter (wall-wort). A battery would be quickly exhausted. The power supply could be close to the camera even it the monitor or DVR isn't. BTW: It's an excellent camera with impressive low light sensitivity.

Yes there's a manual but I wouldn't buy this camera again. It's very slow! In fact I intend to sell my "used one time" camera when I return to states.

900 mah battery, can take photos for 70 minutes, electricity shortages will prompt

It's not a "mini". It's the older "fat" style USB plug and it plugs directly into the camera.

It pulls 2 watts w/ WiFi on. I have one running on a 200 amp/hr battery and 100w solar panel (other things all use this). It runs 24/7 and have had two of these cameras for almost a year with no problems.

I don't remember, but I went on line and downloaded the user's manual - It is pretty easy to find.Don't loose site of the facts that this is a low end point-n-shoot camera. It takes pretty good pictures, but you have very little control of what it is doing. Good Luck!
