Can I plug this camera into an outlet instead using batteries?

Sadly, no. If you run the camera at a busy location and leave it running day and night (when it goes to sleep) and set it to shoot with no delay as I do, you will get a month out of new batteries. If you invest in an alkaline battery recharger (about $15), you can recharge and get at least another month out of them. ...If you wish longer battery life, set the delay to a minute...but realize you may miss something!

No, just only set shoot mode to "remote shoot" or something like that (press at the left side of the wheel on the camera). And remove (pull) plastic cover from the remote unit to make battery connected and supply the unitIf does not work - either camera or unit is not fully operational then.

No. There is no external power source input to this camera. You have to keep the batteries charged. Odd they left that out.

Yes you can. I just rotate my batteries so they are always charged. These batteries last longer than the battery that came with the camera. Very satisfied with my purchase!

You will need to plug the camera into a standard outlet. I have the supplied reciever plugged into a dvr that was supplied with a diff. 4 camera "wired" kit.

The battery charges in the camera through a USB-to-wall outlet connector. You can buy a charger specifically for the battery if you want though.

Mine is connected to my camera and 12 volt battery and all of the power and ac/dc cables are plugged in but it won't work.

It needs 12 volts DC from a mains adapter (wall-wort). A battery would be quickly exhausted. The power supply could be close to the camera even it the monitor or DVR isn't. BTW: It's an excellent camera with impressive low light sensitivity.

You can buy an adapter for it and plug it in and use it that way.That's what I did if I was taking a lot of photos or recording video for awhile.

No, the camera runs on 6 volts dc. You could just use the appropriate adapter. I'm sure you could find one.

It would be hard use as it's meant to be used while plugged into the wall! The point of the camera is to charge and go!

I don't know because I have not tried it but I can't see why you would want to do that since the camera comes with computer and electricity connections.

No. You charge the battery inside the camera, which sucks, but it seems that's how most the manufactures are doing it. I always buy a spare battery and charger for my cameras. You can get these at Amazon for under $30 and they work great.

Not from the camera, you would need to use a separate timer controlling the power 120Volts external to the camera programed to turn on and off.

No. The battery for this camera is specific to this camera, and re-charges inside the camera, when the camera is hooked up to a wall outlet with the adapter that comes with the camera.

It requires a 12 V DC power supply which usualy comes with cameras bought at Amazon, If not they are only about $5.00 on line PS: Last thing you want to do is connecting this camera directly to a 120V AC outlet (it will fry the camera )

They don't show the adapter box and cord or some people might call it a charger or converter/inverter box, but it is a cord and small box like a 12 volt device has so you can plug it into a 110 outlet. I have seen battery powered camera's but they don't retain their charge very long.
