I want to bypass battery and use unit with external power. What are spec. requirements and any external power product suggestions?

This is already wired for 110-220VAC input power with a standard power plug on the back!

I have no idea, but Pyle help has worked with me on questions and given me suggestions.

If you've not looked at the "owners manual" for this item please do a google search and find one. The short answer to that question is none, there's not an external power source, it's 12v and powered by the motherboard connection.

External power adapter to power it. I've had mine for about a year with no issues. It backs up every night too.

The external battery will power your laptop the same way your wall-supplied DC power supply does. Even running on an external battery your laptop will try to recharge it's internal battery if it isn't at 100% To get the best out of an external battery either fully charge your internal battery before switching to your external battery or decrease the threshold at which your laptop will try to charge the internal battery. This will ensure that your system runs on the external battery till it's empty without wasting power recharging the internal battery.

You will need an external power source, but it worked well on battery power like a zagg sparq

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.

no, I have not run it off an external battery. It's an interesting question--especially for people who go camping.

I don't know any easy way of bypassing the battery unless you take it out. Sure, you can plug the radio into an electrical outlet, but it will also be charging the battery at the same time as it is powering the radio. You can plug your CD player and use the radio as just a speaker.

There is no internal battery option. Household AC or external DC (12V) or AC power converter pushing 1 A.

This needs an external power supply to operate. Lacie also has an external drive that doesn't need an external power supply but it's just for storage only. I have them both.

As built, do not see how that is possible. Tested it and doesn't work. There are external power supplies available.

No jack for external power. The batteries last for at least 6 months. I recommend using rechargeable batteries.

This unit MUST be plugged in to operate. Unfortunately it does NOT contain a standalone battery.

Unit requires 12VDC to operate. Any off the shelf 12VDC power supply or wall adapter rated 500mA or greater should be capable of powering the unit.

if you put 'chargeable' batteries in it you could charge them but outside of the camera. I don't believe there is anyway to have external power with this camera.

No, you will need an external switch to do that. Also you need to make sure it bypasses your charging system, so that you are not trying to charge your batteries from the inverter.

No external power source needed. Just simply plug in the 3.0 USB to the PC and you are set. :)
