Could this power my dropcam wireless camera? Currently it has to be powered via micro usb to power outlet.

The power supply is 24V the "splitters" regulate it down to 5. I'd think it would for fine with a 12V camera as long as the max power output of the 24V supply is not exceeded. The seller for these is VERY helpful. You may want to contact them.

The power we use is 120v that was not the issue. The issue was that we could not get the camera to work with our network and it would not allow us to start recording. The instructions are very confusing.

What they already said- NO. But, I tried a "wireless" before and unless the camera has its own power (battery), it has to be wired to a power source. That turned out to be less do-able than this system with power and communication going thru same cable.

Only if you run an LAN cable out to the camera from a router. Without wireless, no signal... And of course it needs to be plugged in.

It is not battery powered. You need electricity. Wireless, in this case, refers to how it connects to your network so you can see what the camera is seeing.

It has a input for a rear camera, the USB connection should power anything, there is a apple device connection that comes with the unit

Roger, yes you do have to connect the camera's power supply directly to an outlet. The wireless signal is nice, so that is one set of wires you dont need to worry about. The pairing the wireless camera to the monitor is easy, and you can do that right there on your coffee table. The monitor also needs to be plugged in to a power socket. We are using it as a front door monitor and it is working well (about 3 months now)Jim L.

Thanks for your inquiry. We suggest you purchase an external power bank (5V 1A) for this cam if you want to keep it recording when you turn off your car.

No. The camera needs a power source. Consider a small 12v solar panel & small 12v battery.

Unless you have enough power to it, I would say no. The power supply I ran was for "all zmodo cameras", but the IR emitters needed much more power.

NO! This camera has a seperate power cable which can be used to power the wireless lan capability. All camera operations require the separate power cable.

Better to use a bigger power supply box, as this one (it supplies up to 2Amp per channel): http://www.amazon.com/Power-Supply-Security-Cameras-LISTED/dp/B005FSUQ88/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1361316816&sr;=1-4&keywords;=cctv+power+supply+box

I don't think so. This is more for devices that require less power, like a camera or a GPS.

The power source has to be plugged into a wall outlet. You could possible retro fight a USB adapter if you know how...

You need two separate 12 Volts power sources, one for the camera as usual, one for the transmitter. Transmitter has two sockets to receive power, I used the one on the left side and it worked.

Hey tick, my camera's are hard wired, which means I have to power them up with a 12v power supply (which was included). The wireless systems, a battery will be the power for the camera, and the base unit for most will be your 12v power supply or however the manufacturer sets the system up with. Basically with electronics is if its doing something, it needs power to do it. Same like us, we need food. However technology today uses alternate energy, but I'm getting off course so I'll end here. Hope I answered your question.The systemas a whole, I feel I got a lotta bang for the buck without spending a thousand. Zmodo support is excellent.
