Do the cameras need batteries..? How do they get power
2039897
the cameras plug directly into a power outlet. The remotes have a cell battery and the receiver has a cell which we have not replaced yet and have had these for over 8 months

Yes they run on 9 volt batteries and run on power supply that comes with the unit

Yes, take the batteries out and plug in the USB cable. Turn the camera on. The computer will power the camera :-)

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.

The cameras I bought take 4 x AA batteries, I use re-chargeable NiMiH types. They work perfectly.

The FI8910W cameras don't have an internal battery. They are powered via a wall plug in transformer that comes with each unit.

You have to have power from somewhere, which means running a wire to the camera. Agasio can best tell you what is required, but you presumably need a 12V power line, most likely transformed from an AC power source. If you want something than runs off a rechargeable power cell, this isn't it.

The camera does need a power source. I did not use the power adapter because I connect the camera to my existing video surveillance system. I hope this answers your question.

Hi, I use rechargables. I have to recharge the batteries almost every night, but they are old batteries and I have a daycare so the camera is on all day. I say go for rechargables!

Just plug it in. You do not have to buy batteries. This is absolutely the best camera.

1. Any lights will work with any camera.2. No, these are AC only (alternating current). They have no battery options short of a generator.

cameras use a battery no adapter no wires the base unit has a power adapter and a RJ45 cable that plugs into your rounter

I know they have an internal speaker, but I've never heard of one that had an internal battery. If it does, you should be able to remove the battery from your camera, then put the BacPack on, and it should power up.

This one needs cable, they have wireless. However the wireless requires a power outlet for each camera.

You have to have an AC outlet. I have several cameras outside. I had to drill a hole, run wire across my attic and then spice into the AC adapter in my den where they are all plugged into an AC power strip. If you have an AC adapter closer to your camera you may not need to go through all that, but you need AC power.

Just via plugging in. Cameras are always plugged in and the receiver goes a few hrs on a fully charged batt.

The cameras themselves are wireless - however, each camera requires a power supply and power cable.

The cameras come packed in boxes of four with a power supply in each box. There is one power supply per four cameras with an adapter lead for four connections. You do not need to buy a separate power supply.
