Does the camera need to be plugged in at all times? I want to install it close to the ceiling but there is not outlet close to it.

Yes, it does. The handset can maintain a charge, but the camera requires a constant power source.

Thank you for your question. Yes, the camera from the Baby Zoom Wi-Fi system will need to be plugged in.

It doesn't show in the picture, but the camera needs to be plugged into an outlet. It comes with the cord and a mount if you want to put it on the wall.

Yes the camera must be plugged into an ac outlet. It has a fairly long cord. Maybe 3 feet.

Yes, it does need to be plugged in at all times, however, lukas sell a batery pack that can keep your camera running for 10 hours, you can use your 12v in your car or hardwire which is pretty simple anyone can do it, I have to say that my lukas 7900 is the best gadget I have in my car, no doubt about that, it has awesome image, gps, very durable, I left in the rain and still works, no regrets... good luck.

Power does not plug into this unit. Power cables are run separately to each camera. I have used this unit and it works great.

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

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.

No, it needs to be connected to a DVR receiver and a power source. Even wireless cameras need a power source . . . . So there is never a true wireless camera. It is best to take the time and wire all your cameras for you security needs. And make sure that they have the right power adaptor if you buy them separate from a kit. All the best.

Tha cameras are wireless as far as the video. But they are electric and need to be pluged into any electric socket. There is a small power reducer with a cord about 20 ft. that attaches from the socket to the camera.

I don't have the outside camera. I have a wireless indoor Foscam camera that I use through my router. It does have to be able to be plugged into electricity. Sorry I cannot answer the question about the outdoor Foscam.

Dear friend, Thank you for your questions. Please note that the Camera has no battery inside, and it is not support for battery carrying, so you are right that the camera has to be continually plugged into the electrical outlet to work. It is hope I have solved your problems. Best regards!

If the power goes out it would stop working yes. It has a switch on the side of it so if you left it alone as soon as the power comes back on so will the camera. Hope this helps!

They are just lights. What camera you use does not matter. They do need to be plugged into an outlet.

Unplugged what? Power or Ethernet? First unplug everything. Then plug in power only. Wait for camera to motion test (move side to side - up and down. Then plug in Ethernet cable and connect in the menu. If no connection remove camera from camera menu and search again with camera pass word ID. Keep trying to connect by unplugging power to camera and reconnecting Ethernet cable. Once it works you can go wireless if you set it up in the menu. Its a nice camera. Pete.

Mine is plugged in all the time. Picture quality is great and in color. Not sure where I would need to use it without plugging into a power source. May be a feature usable during power outages.

I leave my camera plugged in 24/7 and it works perfectly. I have to periodically readjust the camera position because it gets moved when we do housecleaning.
