Needs to be wired directly to a power source. Not plugged in. Not bettery powered either.

This unit needs to be hard wired to an electrical source. It does not come with a two prong plug, it's a hard wire to electricity. It does have a battery back up but that is only for your light/camera setting, not for memory because the memory is on a SD memory card.

Yes it needs to be wired in or plugged in...but it works great when installed...

Yes nick. It clearly states on the product page all you need is an outlet to plug it in. Seriously people, stop being so disgusting and rude about this product!

In general, a wired connection is superior to wireless - more reliable, more secure. The downside is that you need an outlet for each device.

The power source has to be plugged into a wall outlet. You could possible retro fight a USB adapter if you know how...

no. I think you'll need a high end model (if it exists). This model is not even wireless.

How does everyone solve this I wonder! It's a real pain because wireless access points don't generally have a useable Ethernet connection. I ended up buying a devolo plug starter kit that sends the Internet around the house electric circuit. It was pricey (nearly £100 - am in uk) but it literally plugged in and worked.

Like the previous answerer said, you need the outlet where the cable goes into the house. We are using an outside extension cord at the moment but are in the process of installing an outside outlet.

There is an Ethernet port on the bottom but from what I understand is that will only boost your wifi signal more, not turn an outlet into Ethernet. Someone else may know more about this, though.

If you already have the outlet, can it be plugged in? I see one answer to plug in.

Actually what Im trying to figure out is how to actually connect to that wifi connection. HOw do I hook up to it with my PC? Or do I actually need something to plug into my laptop that picks up the signal. Im not sure if the tiny laptop I have will automatically pick up a wifi signal if there is one in the area, or If I have to buy some kind of device to hook up to it. And if I need a device, I wouldnt even begin to know what Im looking for.

If you want to use it's wireless function then you need one of those wireless charger adapter. If not you can just plug in USB charger

No, there is no outlet at all. Just a power cable with a female receptacle, to plug in your router

if you want internet, you still have to connect to a modem from your internet provider and you need to plug it into the wall for electricity. if you have wifi, just plug it in and connect

Nope. Unfortunately you get to purchase a wireless adapter separately. Good luck hunting and if you'd like any further suggestions please let me know.

No wireless... Need the Ethenet cable and the POE... If still time, go for the AC one. I'm reaching places (concrete walls and twisting halls) I was never able to reach with multiple AP Outdoor units.

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
