do the cameras require a separate power source (ie plug into an outlet?

Hi Roseki, Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, you need to have a DC power adapter to support the cameras so you must need an outlet for the power supply. The pre-made cables are include in the package and is about 60ft long. So you dont need to have a local power to make the whole system work. Just a outlet somewhere in 60ft is good enough. We also put a 5Amp Power Supply and a 1 to 4 splitter in the package. Do you have any other questions? -- Thank you : )

The cameras require 9 volts DC, and 600 ma current capacity. So I suppose you can power one of the cameras with a battery for outside use but that doesn't seem practical to me. The cameras are design to be used with the supplied AC adapter.

Yes, this camera has a network jack in the back that allows you to use it "hardwired". It does need to be plugged into power regardless if you are hardwired or wireless.

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.

Yes cameras are powered by 12DC. The Cameras do not plug into the wall directly. 12DC power is delivered through the same cable(differnt conductor) that the video is on. Included in the kit is a large transformer or 2 depending on the number of cameras. Each transformer can power 8 cameras. Each cable has 2 connectors on each end. One for video and one for power. One the DVR end just plug the power connector into the transformer and the video plug into the DVR. Now on the other end you will have 12DC on the power plug to power the Camera.

No this power supply only allows you to use the camera while connected to AC power therefore not using the battery power. You must still charge your batteries with your battery charger. Hope this helps.

Yes, the power supply provided with the camera is a 100-240 volt universal supply. You may need a plug adapter to allow the blade style plug to go into round, prong style sockets.

You will need to plug the camera into a standard outlet. I have the supplied reciever plugged into a dvr that was supplied with a diff. 4 camera "wired" kit.

Yea, you need a seperate cord for each camera (ensure that the cameras use a BNC connection). This particular cord has the BNC connection, and an extension for the power adapter, but it cannot support more than one camera at a time.

No it requires two wires to a power source and one to ground just for the monitor as well as being wired to the camera.

Actually, the cameras get their power from their own power plug. You'll need two outlets to power this sytem, one for the dvr and one for the cameras. The power plug for the cameras have a splitter so you can power all 4 from one outlet.

Yes, the cable has the power for the cameras.You dont need a power plug neer each cam.

No, you don't need to buy a 12 volt power supply. The camera comes with a 12 volt power supply.

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.

Yes the camera must be plugged into an ac outlet. It has a fairly long cord. Maybe 3 feet.
