is this item battery operated only, or is there an adapter for non-battery use?

There is a hole on the side of the machine labeled DC6V that looks like it will accept a power adapter. We have only used batteries so far, and the machine works well.

I wasn't able to operate it on AC power. Was only able to operate on battery power.

No adapter necessary...Just plug it in, with or without batteries...also has option to recharge batteries or to use non rechargeable batteries...

it is battery operated. as I recall it takes 2 "C" batteries. I have not used it long enough to determine battery life. I believe there is an AC adaptor port as well.

Electricity ONLY. I was mistaken by the search results and bought it thinking it was battery operated. Not a stupid question, the description is deceiving.

It's battery operated and runs on 4 AA batteries. You can use an AC adapter but it would have to be 6V.

I guess there is a external power input, but it does not come with an adapter. so pretty much batteries only.

The does not have a battery. It works with an adaptor that plugs into your regular wall outlet.

It is not battery operated. It can be powered by the included power adapter or via PoE (Power over Ethernet), if you have a PoE capable switch. I am using mine with PoE since I have it mounted outside the house and Ethernet is more stable, secure and provides a faster connection to the network. Besides, using PoE requires only one cable be run to the outside (no separate power cable required.)

This is not a battery powered capable tool. It must be plugged in at all times to work

It is not battery operated. There is a small battery that keeps the time correct in case of power outage but you need to get 120V power to the unit by plugging in to a wall outlet or running wires to it.

This device does not utilize batteries. It must be plugged into an extension cord from a normal household outlet while in use.

This is both battery powered and has an AC adapter. The lamp works well with either source of power.

Yes, it has to be plugged in. It does not come with a battery adapter. I had an outlet on my porch within reach, but most people probably need to use an extension cord.

Yes it is battery operated but the batteries seem to last quite a while. I'm pretty sure that you can plug it in too, if you have the right cord (not included) but that would not be that convenient if using outside.

Yes, as it is not battery operated. Works plugged in to an electrical outlet only.
