What powers the cameras? Does it run with batteries or does it need to be plugged to an outlet?

The wireless camera must be plugged in. The video monitor does run on battery in addition to plug in. The wireless camera comes with 6 ft power cord and an additional 6 ft extension cord. I recommend purchasing a 12 ft 1.3 mm DC power extension cable from Amazon.

Camera Units are operated on low voltage power supply plugged directly into regular outlet. Long, Very thin power cord can fit under windows etc.

Tha cameras are wireless as far as the video. But they are electric and need to be pluged into any electric socket. There is a small power reducer with a cord about 20 ft. that attaches from the socket to the camera.

The cameras are powered with a plug-in transformer which has approximately a six foot low voltage cord. They do offer extension cords to allow for a greater distance to the plug. Good little cameras. I started using them wi-fi, but found plugging them into router gave better quality.

Thank you for your inquiry. These cameras are not wireless nor battery powered. In order to build a working camera system, you'll need the cameras, a DVR recorder, cabling, and power supplies.

Standard wall outlet 110 volts AC. Does not have the feature for the use of batteries on the camera. Hope this helps.

The Cameras also have to be plugged into a wall (unless you have battery or solar powered cameras) Maybe a surge protector for your camera's and your dvr.

See the other answers. You will need an external power supply of some kind, but that is true of all cameras unless there is a battery option. Provided the amount of energy something like this would consume with a motion detector on 24/7, batteries really aren't anything but a short term fix.In terms of the camera's controls and data transfer it is wireless. It simply offers you a hard line option which if you can use it, is still the best way to go for reasons I would be happy to discuss if you need. When you first set it up it does ask that you do so using an ethernet port.

You will need to run cables - however, FYI, even "wireless" cameras still require a power source.

This camera requires A) Power. You need to be able to plug into an outlet. And B) an Internet connection where the camera is. The camera (powered) is connected to the Internet router and then you can access that remotely from anywhere in the world.

The receiver contains a non-removable rechargeable lithium-polymer battery. I'm not quite sure how long it last because I keep mine plugged in all the time. The cameras have no batteries and need to be plugged into a power source. I have both mine mounted outside since 9-13, and have not had any problems, even in the sub zero elements here in Wis this year.

The cameras are installed so I do not remember if they can use batteries and it`s difficult to take a look now. Better verify the specifications at Trendnet` site. In my case I`m powering them with the 110/220V AC converter they provide. One point of attention, I could not find yet a cloud service that could record streamings from this model. Camcloud only record static images and Trendnet cloud services do not make records, they only have Live View.

You do not need an outlet at each camera location. The cable that provides the video feed is paired with a power cable.

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.

Yes. I've tested the camera using the wall outlet and no batteries....all functions work.

The camera portion always has to be plugged in. The monitor portion runs on an internal rechargeable battery and does not have to always be plugged in.

er ...electricity? The camera has to be plugged into a mains feed, but the monitor can be taken off its stand (which charges the battery) and used as a mobile unit for an hour or so.
