The monitor and camera battery operated. Only the monitor is like a cell phone you charge it when it's slow.

I have had MORE trouble with Nikon and this camera. They have "jacked me around" about the batteries. It has been to their service dept. 2 times and is on the way now. It will NOT work with rechargeable batteries even though they and the manual say it will. Then this week the said the "recommended" battery is Alkaline.............!!!!!!! I have told them that if I can't use rechargeables I want another camera. we'll see!!!

The camera itself does not use batteries to operate. You can take pictures without batteries. The camera is, however equipped with a light meter that uses a discontinued mercury battery. There are replacements and adaptors that can be used to replace the battery. I have taken great pictures without the light meter during the daytime. You can also purchase a light meter that can be operated manually.I bought a light meter for low-light situations, I have yet to use it though. I hope this helps. I hav

Dear friend, Thank you for your questions. Please note that the Camera has no battery inside, and it is not support for battery carrying, so you are right that the camera has to be continually plugged into the electrical outlet to work. It is hope I have solved your problems. Best regards!

It's battery operated. Don't waste your money though, it's pretty much useless.

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 )

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.

Thanks for the heads-up. I was ready to buy this camera until I started reading about the battery situation. Looks like a good camera but unfortunately, if you can't keep it powered up, it just becomes drawer junk.

JD, if you're looking for a Battery Operated camera, try this one... it is also sold by Amazon (I wouldn't pay attention to its name "baby monitor, it is the manufacturer that is limiting its market) I pay attention to the desired functionality. Search for LorexBaby LBN511 Little Link HD WI-FI Video Baby Monitor by Lorex. You'll find its High Definition, Portable, AC and battery operated (3 hours on battery), transmits to a cloud... it may be what you're looking for...

It uses AA batteries. I have used both regular AA batteries and the rechargeable AA batteries. The rechargeable AA work very well with this camera. However, it is a good idea to either pull the batteries or flip one around the wrong way when not in use or I have found it will run the battery down just sitting there. Hope this helps!

It is not battery powered. You need electricity. Wireless, in this case, refers to how it connects to your network so you can see what the camera is seeing.

If you have not purchased this camera yet I would advise not to do this. It has been servicing for 1 week. As other customer wrote, after batteries discharged and were replaced with new ones the camera didn't switch on and doesn't react on any action. My request to the shop remained unanswered.Regards

The camera's do not have batteries. They use a plug-in transformer. So even though they send a signal wirelessly you still need household current to power them. Thus not truly wireless.

It is Battery operated. It uses 2 " C '" batteries. Use Ever Ready Batteries cause It keeps going and going and---

The camera needs to remain plugged into the power socket to work. It isn't made to run off of the battery, it only runs for a few minutes if it's unplugged. You have to go through the menu to change the language to English. Rather than try to explain, I found this video. Go to 8:30 and he gives the instructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnuIVDao7P4
