Is the monitor or the camera running on battery? Or both? Is there no option for plugging into an electrical outlet all the time?

The In View Baby Monitor includes 2 A/C adapters. The handheld monitor includes a rechargeable battery and the camera unit plugs into the wall.

I have mine pluged in to the wall at all times. When the monitor is fully charged it will last 6 hours.

The monitor does NOT come with battery and charger - that must be purchased seperately! (but it does come with a 110v power cord so if you ordered already - you'll need that to use it!)

It is not at all powered by electricity. There is a battery operated monitor but I don't think that would be an issue. We don't use that feature anyway.

It is in the monitor. The cameras do not have batteries, they must be plugged into an outlet. The monitor can be free standing for several hours before recharging.

Hey Jennifer, you have to run a wire to that cam. You can use a batt but I would not recommend it. The proper way is to run a cable and a power wire. I hope this helps.

It needs 12 volts DC from a mains adapter (wall-wort). A battery would be quickly exhausted. The power supply could be close to the camera even it the monitor or DVR isn't. BTW: It's an excellent camera with impressive low light sensitivity.

The camera itself plugs in with an AC adapter. The monitor can be run off the battery or an included AC adapter.

The camera is connect to the wall always at 110 AC. The monitor (viewing screen/audio monitor) has a rechargeable battery so you can carry it around with you and it comes with it's on charging cord. It needs to be plugged in for recharging but other wise is very portable.

Try using a power supply of 2000mA+. And it may be your video/power cable. Use the largest cable you can find. You may have too much resistance for the length traveled. It fixed my issue. I too thought it was the camera going bad. Its just a power hog!

Not sure I understand what the problem is. This monitor runs by a power supply which can be plugged into a UPS like any other 120VAC device.

The camera is 110 volts only, no battery. The monitor is both 110 and rechargeable battery.

The camera, when in video mode, turns itself off after about 25 minutes when connected either to this power supply , or on battery... not aware of a work around or hack to change that .... good luck ... let me know if you find a work around

The camera can plug into the wall or run on batteries. The monitor had a cradle that plugs into the wall where it recharges - you can have it off of its cradle for as long as the rechargeable battery lasts.

The only battery is in tge monitor, cameras require external power supplies. Power supplies are included in package. There is also a power supply for the monitor that attaches to the cradle.

electricity only for the camera. it plugs into a standard wall (120 watts). The monitor sucks batteries like crazy. Also, be careful, we just returned ours. The monitor would not hold a charge. When our child went to sleep at night, we would have to plug it in or the monitor would die.

Do you mean the monitor is connected to you backup lights? It could be that there is a surge of power upon ignition that is tripping however you have monitor power wired--but the surge isnt making it to the backup camera--and the display shows no signal because the camera isnt powered/relaying video

The camera has to be plugged in. The monitor can be plugged in or run off a battery. The battery in the monitor lasts all night, but usually needs to recharged before using it again.
