How is this thing powered? Does it take batteries (if so, how many and how long to they last) or does it plug into an outlet?

There is an AC power adapter (included) with two prongs. I usually use a 12' cheap extension cord to power the camera.

It is not battery operated. I believed it is powered by the USB that connects it to the computer.

I just plug it into the wall outlet. Haven't used batteries because I hate paying for them. The unit is quite light though and has a great handle if you need to transport it.

Yes, it has a cord and can only be plugged into an outlet. It does not have battery operation capabilities. The cord is very long, stretching about 8 to 9 feet, which I found very useful.

Its like any other battery power device. It will last as long as the batteries. This one is plugged in (that's how it recharge) but it will last a little while on the battery. Can't tell how long exactly though. Not sure why you need battery only but that's definitely a high-end video monitor, i don't think it will last very long without a power outlet.

It is not battery powered. It plugs in the wall socket. One comment the light is not that bright. No sure if you can get a bright bulb for it.

you need a outlet or you can wire it direct but it has to be 110 120 volts to work. Batteries will not work. hope this helps you. Jack

It does not use batteries. It plugs into any standard 120 volt wall outlet.

Yes it is battery powered but not with a rechargeable battery. You can buy rechargeable batteries or just keep using regular batteries. The battery life is short though! We've only used the plug in.

There is an adapter that you can plug in. It may take batteries as well. Great product...worth buying

This unit has no batteries. It is only powered by an AC adapter that must be plugged in to a wall outlet.

I know there is a battery backup, but I have mine plugged into an outlet. I don't know how long the battery is supposed to last, but I wouldn't recommend it as your primary source of power.

No batteries, you just plug it into an outlet. Just make sure that where you plug it in, the cord can droop down a little bit before it goes back up into the outlet, just in case some moisture gets on the cord so it can't get to the plug and electrocute you (that's what it said in the instructions). The cord is pretty long so it shouldn't be too hard to do that.

It plugs into a wall outlet( 2 pronged ) not an ac adapter plug but unfortunately it doesn't run on batteries hope this helps

It's battery operated. But don't worry, it doesn't work with batteries, either.

Mine came with 3 different ways to be powered: it can be powered either directly to an electrical outlet, or by a double A battery or to your computer through USB. And it came with both cords and the battery!
