I don't know much about transformers or why you would need one to hard wire the outdoor camera. I simply attached the wire for the camera to the unit, plug the other end into the USB port on the AC adapter (supplied) and then plug the AC adapter to an extension cord which I then connected to my electrical wall plug on the outside of my house. It works just fine.

Takes 4 regular aaa batteries. I just changed for the first time last week after 5 months. Pretty easy to change.. About 5 minutes with screwdriver. We love it... Have in a basement workroom door and autolocks everytime shut. Never a worry left open with children.. Youll love it. I want 5 more.

I bought this unit for my last home, which we sold a short time ago and was pleased with the unit. Very easy to install. Batteries are as follows: receiver = 4x C (LR14) batteries, button = 1x CR2032 battery. Hope that helps!

Takes 2 batteries in both units. size 2032. How long they last depends on how much you use it. Mine have lasted for months.

Hi Brad, We got the unit in 2/2013 (btw: SUPER EASY to install)!! We have not yet had to replace the battery; but, we do not use the unit every day (maybe only once a week). Hope this helps a little.

So far we are using the same batteries since I bought & installed the doorbell. They are still working & that's been almost a year now. Just a point of information though I would always recommend checking the batteries at least once every 6 months for leakage as batteries do tend to leak if not checked on over long periods of time. That will help to avoid damage to the doorbell or any thing that uses batteries. This is really a very nice doorbell that helps us out here being the lady of the house is hearing impaired.

It depends upon the frequency of use. I open/close my door about 2-3 times a day. It's been about 3 months now and it's still showing me 100% battery with my SmartThings platform

Pretty long. Months I would say. We got ours about 10 months ago and I think I have only replaced the batteries 2 or 3 times. Pretty good considering it is used almost every night.

If you have a deadbolt above you will need ot buy a filler plate. Lowe's carries them for cheap that's what I had to use. The batteries last for about 1-3 months depending on usage. I wired up an old power pack off a linksys router and it runs the lock and charges the batteries 24/7. Email me for more detail on how to wire it up, its very simple!

I haven't had much luck with batteries lasting. the last longer if you take them out when not using, but that's a pain. its a great unit and I use it at work but on electric.

The battery door design is diabolical. There's a damned near impossible to see slot in the body of the unit. It is quite slender, and you likely need a set of eyeglass screwdrivers to fit it. Depress it, and voila the door can be opened. However, every time I needed to change the battery (when the thing was beeping incessantly), I had to find the manual online, and literally look it up. If I recall, it is about center on the bottom of the unit, almost to the back of the unit.

I called the company and they told me to be sure to put the batteries in order. 1st battery goes in the key pad then put the 2nd battery in the unit on the door. That should do it for you. However, if it still is problem go online and find the company and contact them.

Easy. I recently replaced batteries on two units after 2 years of use (10-20x cycles per day per unit). The 9V batteries are under the inside plate. It took me about 2 minutes and required a common Phillips head screwdriver. One unit had a completely discharged battery. I replaced the battery in unit #2 ... "just because". Both units retained all of the codes; although re-coding is easy (if you have the instructions ;^)

I have been trying for days to open this unit to replace batteries and I simply cannot. The batteries lasted only 2 weeks with just a little use every day (maybe 15 minutes when I let the dog out in the dark). I ordered a different collar unit that uses AAA batteries.

The back up battery will open the door if you use the remote or press the wall mounted button. The battery lasts about 4-5 yrs.

It comes with batteries already installed. I'm not sure what type they are because we have yet to have to replace them.

I think around 5 seconds or so . Never had an issue. My gate is a little heavy so I need to push on the gate slightly while interning code as when the latch disengages It is not strong enough to unlock if the it is windy . All in all it works good and I only had to replace the batteries yearly !
