Can you run the camera off external power?

The answer is yes. Using the compact power adapter that comes along with the camcorder you can power the camera without affecting the battery. It is recommended that you use external power when playing back or editing using the camera screen itself. Also, if you are using the camcorder for live webcast or recording directly to a computer it's wise not to deplete the battery unnecessarily.

Yes, but you must stop filming BEFORE you switch power sources, make the switch, and then resume filming. The camera must be turned off to switch power sources.

Hi there! You can leave the battery in the camera while connected via USB to computer. Easy way to recharge....

Hi. With this device, you do not need any external power. The device brings it all included and takes what it needs directly from their computer. It works excellently. Regards. Vincent.

This camera has to have a power source. I ran an outside extension cord and weather proofed the connection for outside use.

All of uniden cameras use an external small 110 v. power supply, NO batteries

External AC power supply is available to prevent battery run-down during long shoots or while down-loading,or exploring camera features. It's an AC power supply, NOT a battery charger. Plug it into the wall, then intothe camera and batteries never run-down.

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.

No. There is no external power source input to this camera. You have to keep the batteries charged. Odd they left that out.

No, it can only be plugged into a power port or an adapter to run directly off the battery.

No.Per the designed setup the camera is only powered when the reverse rear lights are on. You could setup an alternate power source, always on, which would keep the camera and system on.

I could not.However I think in manual was mentioned you will be able to do whenCamera is not on battery

Yes you can, as long as the charging cable is NOT connected to a computer. So if it is connected to an external battery pack (like a Trent Powerpak) it will use the power from the external source, when/if that source runs out of power it will then use the drift battery. I have used this feature myself and that was one of the first features I wanted and tested when buying an action camera, the guy saying that you cannot probably only tried it with it connected to a computer.

Yes you would be able to , however the image will be reversed but if this is not an issue this will work. All you will need if to have a power source at least 12v connecting to the red power cable coming out from the camera, you will also need to have a yellow video cable to be plugged into the monitor and the yellow cable input of the camera! , hope this makes sense

No, just only set shoot mode to "remote shoot" or something like that (press at the left side of the wheel on the camera). And remove (pull) plastic cover from the remote unit to make battery connected and supply the unitIf does not work - either camera or unit is not fully operational then.

Depending on where you mound the camera. I wired my camera and view screen up so I could plug it into the power outlet and have control of when I wanted to turn the system on or off.
