is it battery operated or does it need electrical supply? I am looking specifically for an outdoor, infrared security camera that is wireless, battery operated. I can view from my I-Pad or smartphone. Can you recommend this product? We have a mountain...

This camera is wired and needs an electrical supply. This camera is probably not going to work for you.

Yes, this is a wireless, analog camera. There are two wires sticking out. One is the antenna and the other is the wire that connects to the battery. The camera works fairly well and is in color.

What they already said- NO. But, I tried a "wireless" before and unless the camera has its own power (battery), it has to be wired to a power source. That turned out to be less do-able than this system with power and communication going thru same cable.

the cameras themselves are wireless but they do require electricity to power them....but the signal they transmit to the base station and to the phone app for remote viewing is done wirelessly over the Internet....

dun be disheartened that it is wired. For wireless cameras, you will still need power wires for their continual power supply or each cam. I doubt you wanna reply on rechargeable battery packs for each cam?Installation with wire rising up from wall plug, may turn out uglier than this 2(video+power)-in-1 cable system, that usually runs from the DVR set area, and ALONGSIDE the ceiling edges, or HIDDEN above the false/board ceiling. This is a nice set with versatile settings and customisation. My 3rd Zmodo set.

This camera is battery operated. No power cord included. there should be a usb cable included.

It's not wireless. There's one thin line going from the sensor pad to the monitor, but it can be easily hidden. The pad itself works on batteries, so there's not a power cord.

You will need to run cables - however, FYI, even "wireless" cameras still require a power source.

You will need a power supply, that said, if you can mount it outside looking down, the picture is really good and you can view it from your i-pad or i-phone. It would be the safest way to keep track of a mountain lion.

This unit is not wireless. It comes with a bit over 19 feet of RCA shielded video feed cable and 5 feet of 12 volt DC wire.There is a wireless module available for it (available on Amazon), however.TaoTronics TT-WM01 2.4GHz Wireless Color Video Transmitter & Receiver for Vehicle Rear View camera / Front View Backup Camera System

The wireless camera must be plugged in. The video monitor does run on battery in addition to plug in. The wireless camera comes with 6 ft power cord and an additional 6 ft extension cord. I recommend purchasing a 12 ft 1.3 mm DC power extension cable from Amazon.

That is correct. Ethernet is also PoE to power the camera. This unit is not a toy, it is a serious security camera. If you trust your security monitoring to a wireless network, then you deserve to be robbed. There are plenty other wireless robber cameras available!

the camera isn't wireless but the video monitor is. The camera must be plugged into a power source.

The sensors are wireless and battery operated, but the "receiving unit" with audible and visual alarm indicators is wireless but not battery operated, it needs an outlet to be plugged in.

The camera signal is wireless. It just needs 110v AC; I made small holes for the camera power wires, then plugged them in regular household extension cords from the light fixture in my attic (I got an adaptor for the light socket that has two outlets & the bulb socket).

The camera itself is wireless. You have to have an electrical outlet within 4 feet to plug the camera in to power each one.

Short answer is yes! Needs battery or own electic source for camera. Great indoor out a window. Effective range 100 feet and through outside wall. I thought it was worth the price.
