The cameras have to be plugged in to electricity don't they

Yes, the cameras need power. The battery connection is merely for testing purposes and will only provide power up to 15 minutes.

Not from the camera, you would need to use a separate timer controlling the power 120Volts external to the camera programed to turn on and off.

I just used regular AC extension cords to plug into the DC transformers that came with the cameras. That's a lot easier than trying to find DC substitutes.

Not sure what you are asking; but, I keep my cameras plugged into my home desktop computer all the time. I can see the cameras from any computer/phone, anywhere at anytime and monitor my home. I would guess you don't need to keep it plugged up all the time, but the cameras do record to the computer when ever there is motion, as long as they are plugged in and on.

Actually, the cameras get their power from their own power plug. You'll need two outlets to power this sytem, one for the dvr and one for the cameras. The power plug for the cameras have a splitter so you can power all 4 from one outlet.

The monitor must be plugged in but the camera's themselves can be battery operated. I just never found the battery operation to last all that long so I plug it all in.

Yes they aren't attached to your camera. They are on at all times by switch. They plug into the wall.

Nope. It must be plugged in. Netgear makes a neat little security cam that's battery powered.

Wifi uses allot of battery power therefore there aren't any cameras that do not require an outlet power source. The amount of work to change batteries and the lack of strength in power to create a strong reliable signal makes battery powered security cameras a bad idea.

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.

It is a POE Camera, so yes you do not need to use any power, just POE with POE switch or POE injector.

Cameras get their power from the DVR recorder, there are two wires run between each camera to DVR, one is power, one is video.

The camera cable plugs into a 110vac outlet---and you DO need a monitor to see the output from the camera.

NO, however keep in mind wireless cameras need a power source ie power outlet at each camera. So if up put a camera on the 4 corners of your home you will need power as well at each corner. good luck

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.

This camera has an Ethernet connector. It also has a small power supply that needs 110vac.

You have to have electrical outlets close to where you are going to attach them and then plug them in. They do need electric to work but they send the pictures to the monitors via wireless. These cameras give a very clear and detailed pictures and sound. When it is night out, on the monitors it looks almost like day but no light outside to give away the camera.
