Is there a way to know if the power or internet goes down while the camera is on?

Not sure what you are asking. From the browser on the camera frames you would see the error message "Gateway Offline." Usually means you must reboot your router, the VueZone gateway, or both, or you have an outage with your modem or ISP.

If you were to monitor other electronic devices you could tell if the power was out. Not sure how you would monitor your internet connection unless you had your router in the camera surveillance area.

If the internet goes down the blue internet light on the base will not be on. There have been times when my power goes out that I have had to restart my base by unplugging and waiting 1 minute before plugging back in. You can do this right from the base.

I'm not sure. I've got power backup on mine but obviously if the net drops I'm not covered. I'm on their basic plan though so maybe an option for one of the other tiers?

If you can, try it on another poe device. It could still be the poe card in the camera has failed... you could also pin out the cat5 cable to check the supply voltage.

Its hard to tell when the power seems to go on and off as there is no light indicating the power is on or an on/off switch. Basically the lights indicating that a device is plugged in comes on (a mouse for example) .. if you don't move the mouse for a while the light goes out, once you move the mouse the light comes on.

They are plugged into an electrical outlet. These are great little cameras that we can look at from another location and they're set up to tell us if we've had a power outage and what their new IP address is. Love em!

You can program the camera to operate as per your time schedule. The camera system time will be automatically updated with the international time server. When power loss , the time will lost . When power on the camera and connected to internet , the camera will automatically update its time with the international time server.

Yes. And if your camera has the setting, make sure you set it to "uncontrolled" PoE; some PoE devices can talk with each other and adjust power, but this doesn't.

No, This camera does not support a direct Power Over Ethernet connection, you can run the camera off a wired connection but you need to provide power independently. You may be able to buy some accessories that allow you to split the power from your POE connection to power the camera (check the power specs for more info.)

led light on side of camera can blink green, red or orange depending on if it's plugged into the computer or power cord. I covered with a small piece of electrical tape.

You can unplug power cord at back of camera body... or if you are concerned about your WIFI security just cover the camera with a towel

Depending on where you mound the camera. I wired my camera and view screen up so I could plug it into the power outlet and have control of when I wanted to turn the system on or off.

Yes. If the wireless is setup, then you can unplug the camera and it will reconnect when you plug it in again.

yes-looking down on the camera you should see a switch called Finder/Monitor below the power switch

There is an option in the setup menu for Motion Detection (on/off). I leave mine off so it always records when power is on. I haven't tried the "on" setting. Note that I have 2 of these devices. I liked the first so much I bought a 2nd one for my wife's car. The 2nd one was defective and I had to return it to the vendor. Their support was horrible and their shipping time was over 7 days. The problem was resolved, but communication with the vendor was unbelievably bad.

you must have power over Ethernet (POE) switch to power up the camera. or plug in standard compatible power source to camera.

No. If your router or cable modem goes down or is turned off you will be unable to access th3 camera.

There is a lag and it seems to vary. The camera restarts on its own if the power is interrupted but has to reconnect to the router and that does take maybe a minute or even 2 but it does come back up as soon as it can get online.
