Can the be hooked up by wires so that it doesn't have to run off of the batteries?

Yes it includes the electric cord and rechargeable battery. If you want to go outside and still watch the monitor, you simply unplug and take it with you.The charge lasts approx 4 hours.I love these units so much, I did by another set. I have a total of 2 monitors and 7 camera's. Still have room for one more camera.I haven't had the first problem with them. None. Had them for months and months now.

I'm sure you could, but at the rate this thing sucks down power it'll cost you some money. I had mine plugged into a "thermo cube" and let it turn on and off unsupervised.

no you have to plug it into a power source. that's the only way it will work.

Yes. It can be battery powered or plugged in. But I like some others have been disappointed with the signal quality, somI haven't made much use of them....

I don't believe so. The device needs to be powered at all times. Like any electrical device, the black and white wires need to be connected to the device. It's also important that the power black is connected to the proper device black wire. I don't have the instructions in front of me so I'm going by memory.

It is all a contained unit and there isn't room for another battery in it. I would imagine you could wire one externally and have it beside the unit or behind it in the wall for better appearance. Hope this helps.

no, it needs to be wired directly to the battery with a 30 amp inline fuse added.

It must be plugged into a wall socket and is not designed to be run by batteries.

No. You have to hook them up to a switch or run them off another power source.

It may have that capability, but we do not guarantee it working, as it is not initially set up to be directly wired to a 12-volt source.

nope... not without hacking it...But the batteries last FOREVER. Just pop a rechargeable in it and charge 'er up every so often.But I understand the desire for a wall-mounted version. If you're dead set on that, this is not your baby

You can keep it plugged in to the wall. Not sure if batteries can be replaced.

Has to be connected to a 12 volt source. He could by a small 12 volt battery and make a pouch for it to run it that way.

Yes. Just keep it plugged in 24/7 and you wont have to worry about the battery going dead or having to reconnect it.

Yes !but actually what you would do it's simply don't connect it, but to turn it on and off you would have to cut the power to the outlet used to plug it !

i got it hooked to the battery with its own on off switch. i do think you can splice in to wires to make it like that but i wanted to have a on off switch.

Yes you can install without hooking up the 24v common wire, it will run on the batteries (3) AA. Keep in mind though that the polling and updating will be drastically reduced in order to extend battery life. If I recall correctly this can be changed at a trade off in battery life.
