If your lucky to have received one with a good battery....mine stopped holding a charge after 3 months...now it failed during the " restore to factory setting" and won't do anything except keeps trying to Auto repair...over and over and over...I have had this less than a yr and have only used it a few times!

Absolutely not. Unit operates when plugged . Once you unplug ,if turned on ,starts operating using the batteries.

No, it does not operate on batteries. You can use power over ethernet (POA) to power the camera.

Not on battery power. The device needs to be plugged in via the AC adapter to charge your ipod.

I wasn't able to operate it on AC power. Was only able to operate on battery power.

You can use it while cord plugged in. Its not designed to have the battery removed by regular consumers. But it is possible if you have the proper tools and the battery.

Nope. It's battery powered only. You have to modify its scheme if you want to power it up with an ac adapter.

You would use the battery power if there were no electrical outlets such as in the backyard. It comes with a charger so you just plug it in the outlet.

you can But i wold not give up the convenience of cord less use. just fully charge the battery when you first get it for ten hours/ over night; once!. for at lest two days . of convenient powered use, having it plugged in dose not increase its power or operation

This is not powered by battery. It is powered by plugging it into an electrical outlet.

Yes. It can be battery powered or plugged in. But I like some others have been disappointed with the signal quality, somI haven't made much use of them....

You can plug it in to recharge it, and I have used it while plugged in. I believe the instructions say not to do that, but it works.

it must be plugged into a wall socket. Or if you have a power inverter you could use a 12vt outlet. It does not have a battery in it.

Yes as long as you keep it plugged in. The battery on it does not last long.

Yes it can be used plugged in. Also it can be used without being plugged in.

No. Not battery powered. You have to use a 24v transformer which plugs into a wall outlet. It all comes in the box.

I don't think so. I think it requires power to operate, but I haven't tried this.
