I don't think so. The unit has a dedicated power cord that has a USB connector on the device end and a cigarette lighter connector on the other. There is also a standard USB cable that comes with the unit and when connected to my computer, the unit goes into "USB mode" (and annunciates the fact) which allows reading captured video clips. Because of this, I don't think the device would be in capture mode when connected with a standard USB cable, but would instead switch to read mode.Hope this helps...

Yes it can. This is how it is powered when you connect it to a computer to download files.

To power the unit, you must plug two "pigtail" USB plugs into a computer. I don't think it could really be used on much else since the software has to be compatible.

Apparently it is powered exclusively from the USB port itself, not too certain on wattage however. There is a s/pdif out and in, and a 3.5mm line in (I use a red/white composite cable converter to play any console games). I believe the software that runs it is strictly PC, but I have no certainty that it will function in this manner.

Steven it is USB powered but comes with a second USB cable to provide extra power if required. In my experience it seems to be needed. Regards John Docherty.

Yes, this device can be powered with any USB outlet. I use it with TV and use one of the USB slot on the TV to charge and transmit simultaneously without interference

The usb port is output power only. It will charge cell phones, mp3 players and other devices that use a usb to charge. So the answer to your question is no.

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

If you want only usb cable, yes. It is not AC powered, though. I use one to supplement an AC powered 4-port USB hub.

I powered mine via my computer via USB. My axiom broke though, and I had to return it sadly.

Can be powered through a wall socket, that's how I have it set up. I haven't tried the laptop features yet.

It requires auxilliary power. USB won't power it. But it comes with a power pack.

yes, you can use USB to charge. I suggest checking the manual for best guidance

It can be used as a USB power source long as it's low power. aka not a Iphone or tablet (technically you could but it would take like 2 days)

I'm fairly certain that you can achieve this. I have Logitech Z5 speakers which are also USB powered, and I have used a USB charger to power them while the device (like an ipod) plays thru the audio cable.

No, it is powered by plugging into an electric outlet. The USB provides a connection into your computer. This not a bus powered drive, neither it is portable.

No in this case it means that this unit has to be powered by the USB so it's not really portable, sorry.

it can be powered by AC adapter as well as usb. it includes a cord which will do both. it can also run on battery for 6 hours. It has a headphone jack and an input as well as Bluetooth. The short answer is yes to all
