Aside from batteries, do the cameras have an external power supply? I need them to work for several days while I'm away.

No they do not, but the batteries will last for several months. I access them several times a day checking on my property and they last around 5 months without any problem. If you leave them on all the time the batteries won't last near as long.

See the other answers. You will need an external power supply of some kind, but that is true of all cameras unless there is a battery option. Provided the amount of energy something like this would consume with a motion detector on 24/7, batteries really aren't anything but a short term fix.In terms of the camera's controls and data transfer it is wireless. It simply offers you a hard line option which if you can use it, is still the best way to go for reasons I would be happy to discuss if you need. When you first set it up it does ask that you do so using an ethernet port.

I guess there is a external power input, but it does not come with an adapter. so pretty much batteries only.

The cameras are installed so I do not remember if they can use batteries and it`s difficult to take a look now. Better verify the specifications at Trendnet` site. In my case I`m powering them with the 110/220V AC converter they provide. One point of attention, I could not find yet a cloud service that could record streamings from this model. Camcloud only record static images and Trendnet cloud services do not make records, they only have Live View.

Yes, the batteries are rechargeable. The one that comes with the camera lasts a good while on a charge. I take a lot of pictures when I'm on a day trip so I ordered two more batteries just in case. I also like that the screen turns off when the camera is inactive, which reserves the battery life, and comes back on with the simple push of a button.

No. Mine came with power supply included, 1 per 4 cameras and a 4 way splitter that feeds the 4 cameras. I think this is the same package I bought.

Littuim and they are rechargeable. Our staff takes lots of photos daily I buy an extra battery and they switch the out daily and this allows us to keep battery life longer and utilize cameras daily.

Besides running off of its own battery supply, you can also plug it into a wall and run off standard AC 110/120V. Usually with the power banks you need a USB connection, if yours is able to handle other connections you might be in luck. But for $10 I just bought an extra set of rechargeable batteries and it has been fine. This is a nice little camera but don't expect video quality to be better than an iphone. The audio quality, however, is better than anything a phone or tablet could provide.

The camera kit comes with one power supply with four plugs, one for each camera. You won't need to buy any extra power supplies (unless you want to power every or each camera from different places)

Thank you for your inquiry. These cameras are not wireless nor battery powered. In order to build a working camera system, you'll need the cameras, a DVR recorder, cabling, and power supplies.

Hi MariX,This is the greeting from Loftek Customer Service. This camera come with a power adapter , it can't be powered by battery. Thanks

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 )

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.

There is no external power supply. The phone line and the batteries suffice.

Camera Units are operated on low voltage power supply plugged directly into regular outlet. Long, Very thin power cord can fit under windows etc.

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.

if you put 'chargeable' batteries in it you could charge them but outside of the camera. I don't believe there is anyway to have external power with this camera.
