Is a power supply needed with this unit- or do the cables provide power?

The HDMI output that you plug into the TV provides the power. There is a jack to plug in an A/C adapter that isn't included, but I don't see where one would be needed.

You do not need a power supply. Don't waste your time like I did trying to find one. It works well letting me add more HDMI devices to my older TV which only has two HDMI inputs. Only complaint is that the range of the remote is pitiful, 3-4 feet.

It is plug and play. You don't need a power supply. Plug it in. And it should set up.

The power supply is fine for the unit as is, unless you decide to upgrade something like the graphics card. That would necessitate a power supply upgrade as well.

Require a power supply: No; Batteries: My book says "to provide back up power". Others have mentioned that the batteries don't last to long

Yes, there is a power adapter with the unit. I did not try to power my Pi with it though.

No, it does not come with a power supply. You will need to buy memory, a hard drive or SDD for storage, a computer case, and a power supply.

Not sure exactly... but I didn't need to get any additional power supply to make it work... just plugged it in.. and had been working great since purchase.

No there is not a power supply with it but I consider that a good thing. Keeps the price lower and allows me to buy on that fits my needs. Like a 500 watt wouldn't be nearly enough for my build but might be for yours. If it came with a stock PS it'd probably just end up another unused spare in the back of the closet.

Yes it needs power and it comes with the 5v power supply included that plugs into it. I was very satisfied wit the unit. I amplified the analog output using cheap computer speakers then pluging headphones into the jack on the computer speakers. The pictures and whats included in the box is shown out on the amazon site.

There is one cable that contains the video connection and provides power to each camera. So no additional power supply is needed.

It came with a power supply. I do not remember if it came with a usb cable, it uses a standard usb cable.

Power supply is included. I'm not exactly sure how your application works , you select an optical cable input and it is split to all outputs using optical cables, only other equipment needed is the spdif cables.

Yes, it includes the power supply, but it is not necessary. I have it plugged in to my desktop computer with just the USB connection and it powers it just fine. I cannot speak to the performance of the product on laptops or other portable devices.(edited for a typo)

no room in the unit for AC power. It is fed DC power Via a mini usb cable that connects to the one of the other kits that had a 48 watt power supply. You can also buy the mini usb cable to connect more than one strip together

Yes a power cord and power supply is required. they come with the unit. It is a great produce and works better than the Belkin

No power supply is included, but realistically if you're wiring these up you'll want to go PoE. There are many low priced PoE Injectors that work well with this camera if you don't have a PoE capable switch.
