So what happens the first time someone tries to actually plug a cord or adapter into this faux wall plate???

You could completely break the camera. The pin hole camera is in one of the plug holes. The Motion sensor is the opaque plastic in the middle.

There's plastic behind the square plugs. If they force it, It'll break the plastic behind them. The top black "hole" is also the lens of the camera so this may damage the lens

I did not have any issues with this, perhaps it's the extension cord? Best of luck!

I know that others have tried this without issues but I do not have personal experience with plugging it in to the wall.

The only thing I can think of is that she's trying to plug it into an ungrounded outlet. But all of the kitchen outlets should be grounded. Where is she trying to plug it in?

sure hope it works, i just ordered mine two days ago. i will post back and let you know, but the research i did certainly indicated it work. i think the only negative i read is that it's so close to the wall that the power cord gets a tad in the way.

I have mine plugged into a standard wall plug and have had no issue with it throwing the circuit breaker...

This one doesn't connect to the wall plug unless your wall plug has an USB port! Do you know what is USB port? If your wall plug has that USB port, you are fine!

Yes, but in my experience, the actual plug is very touchy. It has to be plugged in *just* right in order to work, so if it's nudged it stops working until you fix it. I actually just stopped using it.

Don't overlook the mini USB looking power cord (not pictured with item at Amazon but should be shipped with the converter). I initially did not see the mini power cord when I got unit and it took me a few minutes to figure out why the unit was not functioning. Converter must have separate electrical power source to operate. There is a very small connection port for the power cord on top of converter (looks like mini USB). Connect the RCA and HDMI cables as directed, connect power cord to converter and plug power cord plug into the wall ( I had to use an extension cord to reach outlet and it works fine). You should be good to go.Hope this helps. Don't overlook the mini USB looking power cord (not pictured with item at Amazon but should be shipped with the converter).

You are supposed to take out one of the screws on the outlet cover and then put the three plug in the socket and put the screw into the metal tab and then into the outlet cover. But an electrician told me that is useless if your house isn't grounded in the first place. So I never bother doing all that stuff and they've always worked.

The cord is is attached to the side of the unit. You then plug it into a wall socket.

If you forced the plug into the speaker housing incorrectly then you have probably damaged the connector on the cord and/or the speaker itself. The charger unit that plugs into the wall outlet can be plugged in either way.

Mine looks exactly as pictured and it plugs directly into the wall-no cord!

I had no idea you were supposed to move the coverplate until I saw these answers! I just plugged it in over the outlets and put the screw aside bc I didn't know what it was for... (heh) It works perfectly fine but I'll fix mine now. Thanks for asking this question & thank you everyone for your answers!

It has wiring that needs to be connected to the worse coming out of your 120v wall outlet. My husband was able to do it by following the providing instructions and the color coded wiring. An electrician can do the same, but if someone you know can hookup an appliance to an existing outlet, you are all set.

I plugged it into my wall outlet and it works fine. If it is not working plugged in, something is wrong. Mine works perfectly and I am very happy with it. Perhaps try taking it around the house to see if maybe the outlet is functioning properly.

Mine is plugged into a surge protector with other items, and it works just fine. I would not guess that that should be happening. Perhaps you have a bad section of the surge protector. I'd try moving the items around on the surge protector and seeing if that helps. But, that shouldn't be happening.
