Is there an option to connect to external power for powering the blinking red light?

no, and the battery doesnt last long. So if it is up high it is too hard to change batteries. It should be high to keep anyone from fiddeling with it. The only thing this is good for is your own piece of mind . Burglers dont even notice it and dont care because they rarely get caught with cameras. Get a tazer.

All i do is plug it into a wall outlet, what alternative way are you looking for?

Well what you could do is take an old usb cord and a small usb power brick which could work which is what i tried or u could just buy an led power supply but i mean itt can be a hassle

No external power required. Only needs a USB port with enough power. Most standard USB 3 ports should be adequate.

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

It's not a rechargeable device. It's need to be continuously connected to power supply.

No. This device does not need external power. Direct plug and play ( like a thumb drive)

I have to plug mine in about once a week. The little light at the bottom on the front will blink red. Does that help?

No, there's an external power supply for this. Just connect the green audio cable.

Is the red led power-on indicator lit?If so,your problem is most likely with the device.A volt-meter would help.

I would plug the old one back in and try that. It will blink fast with the led but if its getting power then you know that you have a bad unit.

Sounds like power supply. Had it happen on mine. Check how many times the red lite turns on and off and then check unternet

No, if you disconnect power you must manually turn it on. Cannot use it with an external timer.

the red light indicates a charge, green solid connected to battery, green blink no connection

I didn't notice that recommendation... I have done it, as well as other according to their reviews. in my office I leave it plugged in even though it is fully charged and treat it like a regular Qi charger. it appears when an external power is attached to the PowerBot, it is charging the internal battery and powering the Qi pad. I haven't tried but i'm thinking if the PowerBot was completely drained, you could plug in an external power and still use the Qi charging. I think the amber light indicates whenever you are using the internal battery.

There are not external power connections. There are two keys that can be used to operate the lock mechanically in the event the batteries fail.
