parent unit power supply: it says the parent units are battery powered (with rechargeable batteries included), but is there also an option to plug into the wall?

The parent units have cords that can be plugged directly into the wall. It's important to keep the cords nearby, because battery life on these are not super long. I wouldn't take it off the cord for more than a couple hours at a time. Luckily, it will make a tone when the battery is low instead of simply turning off without you realizing it.

No, it actually comes with a power cord. You connect the cord to the bottom of the front of the device and plug it into the wall. I prefer it to battery powered.

Not to my knowledge. This isn't hard wired into the house. It's self contained batteries. The base unit does plug-in but, it too has an internal battery that is supposed to last 8 hours in case of a power outage. We have a marine battery with an adapter to allow us to 'plug-in' as we live in hurricane country. The individual components all are supposed to have a battery life of a year...easily replaced.

It comes with an adapter to plug into 120vac wall outlet. It also runs on 4-aa batteries if you want. I use the wall adapter so I don't know how long the batteries would last.

I just plug it into the wall outlet. Haven't used batteries because I hate paying for them. The unit is quite light though and has a great handle if you need to transport it.

Need to plug in baby unit. Parent unit, once charged can be wireless. Disappointing monitor. Found a Vtech to be a much better purchase for my second child.

The monitor in the baby's room can be plugged in. It does not need batteries to work.In fact both units have AC adapters. Either can be plugged in or use batteries. I always leave the baby monitor (microphone) unit plugged in under my baby's crib. The parent unit (speaker) is plugged in when next to my bed at night, but I use the batteries when I am awake and carrying it with me.

Yes, but you need to buy batteries for the unit. It does come with a power supply that will charge the batteries. You can also run these off the AC power supply while the batteries are charging.

The parent unit is rechargeable and can be carried around without being anchored to anything. The camera unit is mounted on a wall (or placed on a piece of furniture) and is stationary, unless you reposition it to adjust viewing

It comes with a small power supply. Just plug into any house wall socket and it will charge the unit. On the front of the unit there is a series of lights. Red Yellow and Green. To check on the charge push the small yellow button next to the lights. If you have a green...it's fully charged.

Yes they do - that is exactly how we use the parent units - always powered on using their wall adapters.

Only one needs power, that would be the one that stays in the house. It needs (6) C cell batteries, I believe there is an external power supply for it, but I never used them. The batteries last quite a long time, depending on use of course. The wall unit outside needs no batteries. Hope this helps. I have in operation now many of these units, and they work just fine.

It uses wall current and can use batteries. Wall current should be your primary source as batteries don't last very long in this device.

Yes, it is not battery battery operated. A standard us wall out let plug is built in

The unit can be plugged directly into the wall and run without batteries. That was a BIG deal for me and I could not find the answer to that myself. So glad to tell you... YES! And I highly recommend this unit. Also, you can charge both batteries at the same time.

Yes, I just plugged ours right in. It's a little power brick like you've probably seen before, not just a plug though.
