What is exactly the point of this with a camera if they both need ac power roughly in the same area?

This doesn't. You can run one wire that covers both data and power. It's also low voltage so there are fewer limitations as to where and how you run it (cat5/cat6)

The injector can be placed near your router or switch (where there is power), from there, a long run of cat5e cable to the camera. My cameras are in my attic where there is no power and my injector is in my office.

This is for poe cameras, you send power and data thru the same cable, the ac for the injector may be somewhere different than the camera.

some camera's can only be powered in this way. Power cords aren't always long enough either, so an extension cord would be needed which isn't always pratical.For some people it's more about aesthetics than about supplying power (when you only have to hide one cable instead of two).But in the end it's up to the end-user what to do in a give situation.

The camera has a pair of cables coming out the back. One is the BNC connector ending for video, the other is the power cable. The power is 12V, using the same sort of round power plug you'll see in many other small electronics before USB power was so common. In my setup I have these 100ft cables (came with the DVR I bought, but they are easy to find here on Amazon) that have a video line and a power line stuck together and two connectors on each end. The power side has a matching end that plugs into the power cable coming out of the back of the camera. On the far side I have an AC (Wall outlet) to 12V adapter that the other side of that cable plugs into. I have two of these, each has 4 plugs, so they run 4 cameras. Basically, you need: -The 12V wall adapter (with the right number of outputs for how many cameras you have) -Cables (Video+Power BNC and the correct power plug, and the right number of them) -DVR -Camera itself

The camera has a battery, and short charger cord (that doubles as a PC connector). If I have any concerns, it's because the charger cord is too short).

It means that you can power the camera over ethernet cable do you don't have to run 2 cables. Hope I have answered your question.

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.

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.

There 2 power supply that's all you need, one power supply for a set a power. You don't need to buy extra power supply. There a adapter that you can use to cconnect 4 cameras in one power supply. Hope that helps

Good Morning, The power is run through the cord that hooks the camera to the DVR. No additional power is required.

My perspective on this is that they both perform the same function. It is a matter of where the camera display is located

the monitor and camera have there own power source. There are two ac adapters. And the GE home monitor works great.

Each camera has to have ac electrical power. For example, if you mount cameras under the eaves on your house, you'll have to route an ac power wire, such as an extension cord, from an electrical source to each of the cameras. Since the cameras require an ac power cord, they are not really wireless. "Wireless" refers only to the WiFi data signal, which is transmitted wirelessly between each camera and your home's router. Installing outlets and routing ac power wires inside your home's attic is likely to be a major hassle for most homeowners. The display also has to be plugged into an ac electrical source.

You can buy an adapter for it and plug it in and use it that way.That's what I did if I was taking a lot of photos or recording video for awhile.

I don't get it. Why does the picture have a power cord in the photo, but then I have to buy the ac adapter separate?

Plug both into the 'digital' bank of outlets. If there is actually any difference between the outlets it hasn't been noticeable to me either way but technically speaking, use the digital outlets for those devices.

If the camera connection is coaxial you should not have any problems. Also each camera will have to have a power source.

none. Wall transformer or an ethernet POE switch and a power splitter at the camera.

There are adapters (power injectors) you can purchase that lets you send the power over the Ethernet cable. The adapters go on both ends of the Ethernet cable. However, most POE switches will not recognize it as a POE device. Therefore, it won't send the required voltage out to power the device , you still have to use the power adapter that comes with the camera. This is good so you don't have to have a power source close to the camera.
