I have a long run and am curious if there is an option to hard-wire the camera to the intercom?

No! Only works about 35'. Also, seller does not respond to questions and warranty. I bought one that had a bad battery. I sent them a message about it an never received an answer.

Thanks for your inquiry. This doorbell is wireless and the hard-wire one is not available on our store. So sorry for this.

Your unit is wireless but can be hardwired with this cvc6945 indoor/outdoor camera

That might be a far distance. You connect the camera to a box to an outlet. The box sends the info wirelessly to another box connected to the router. From there, it goes into their server to your account. I think it's too far to send the info. I think it's better to be hard wired if it's that far away and that distance to be covered.

I don't know because I have not tried it but I can't see why you would want to do that since the camera comes with computer and electricity connections.

Yes, you can connect locallyBest way is to call Foscam customer support and they will help you set it up however you like

I had to run a power line in my attic to near where the camera was mounted outside and drill a hole to reach the camera. You could possibly try POE (power over Ethernet) but then you most likely would have to run a very long Ethernet cable. I'm not sure this camera supports POE, you should check with the manufacturer. One alternative might be to install one if those wheels that gerbils run on and buy a generator so when the gerbil runs it generates power for your camera, most devices do require power.....

This unit is hard wired and if you want wireless I wouldn't choose any hard wired camera. I returned this unit for two reasons. First, the run would be to long from outside over my garage into the house. Second, the setup was too technical for me. The manual that come with this camera doesn't tell you how to set it up and tech support is in China. They gave me an overseas number to call. No way.

Yes but you would need to feed ethernet from the Powerline Adapter into a PoE power injector then to the camera as the Powerline adapter does not provide PoE capability. Alternately, you can feed power to the camera with a regular power adapter plugged into the camera's standard power port.

Not that I am aware of. You can switch from video to camera, but can't switch back without plugging it in to a computer.

Sorry I can't answer that question, I hooked mine up to the backup camera.Rowland

Yes. If the wireless is setup, then you can unplug the camera and it will reconnect when you plug it in again.

See the other answers. You will need an external power supply of some kind, but that is true of all cameras unless there is a battery option. Provided the amount of energy something like this would consume with a motion detector on 24/7, batteries really aren't anything but a short term fix.In terms of the camera's controls and data transfer it is wireless. It simply offers you a hard line option which if you can use it, is still the best way to go for reasons I would be happy to discuss if you need. When you first set it up it does ask that you do so using an ethernet port.

You'd have to take the output coax from the camera and put it into your recording device, then add a coax from your recording device to the main controller. As long as your recording device allows a pass-thru signal, you should be fine.

I ordered a bunch of these camera, it did not come with the cameras. Use white electrical tape and neatly wrap the connection. If you are doing POE, you will need to wrap the 12v power connection. I searched for 20 mins online and could not find anything made for these cameras that was a factory boot solution.
