Can the outdoor unit only work with battery or does it require a power adaptor to be plugged

It works with baterry for maybe 12 hours then u gotta unplug and recharge. The quality is very substandard. You can plug directly into the camera outside but in my application it didn't work. It doesn't work as advertised. Hope this helps, buyer beware.

I think it works just with battery. However, be carefull buying this because mines just worked for 1 month and after that never again!

It requires a power adaptor to be plugged, but one comes with the item, however you will need an AC outlet nearby as the power cord is only 30 ins long or you can attach it to an extension cord.

The outdoor camera unit comes with a battery. Both the video screen and the camera come with both batteries and AC adaptors(both batteries are SUPPOSED to last six months on a charge). Note #1: If you do NOT plug the camera into the wall, you cannot look outside UNLESS someone presses the doorbell every 30 seconds. Otherwise, with AC power you could look outside anytime you want. Note#2: Both units automatically shut off after 30 seconds. Note#3: Position the camera between your shortest and your tallest visitor' s height. All things considered, this videodoorbell is great!

No, its an electric plug in. You need an outdoor extension cord to run it and a convenient outdoor electric outlet.

No, it doesn't. It's necessary for the unit to be plugged in to a power outlet for use.

I am not aware of this unit offering an optional AC adapter...Mine came with batteries only and battery power is the only way to make it work...

Unfortunately they DO need to be plugged in all the time in order to be used. For outdoor use you will need a portable power source. I recommend Paul C Buff's Vagabond Mini Lithium portable power. It's light weight, easy to carry and it costs less than $250.

This unit MUST be plugged in to operate. Unfortunately it does NOT contain a standalone battery.

Mine came without an adaptor but has a spot to plug in an adaptor. One could be purchased if you wish at Radio Shack or some other electronics store. Works fine with batteries only. There is a 3 position switch, off, on, and on with rotation. Rotates fine with batteries.

Although the unit comes with an AC adapter it's for charging only and for some reason does not allow direct AC use. I found this out the hard way as the batteries do not carry a charge longer than a couple weeks and I tried plugging in and using. Only when the battery was charged could I use it.

There is an AC adapter with the unit. That is the only way I can see to power it.

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.

There are two different Park Zone models. One that is battery only (battery life is good) that can't be plugged in. There is a different model that has a power cord and runs of AC. If you want to plug it in, you have to buy the model that runs of AC power.

Yes, works with AC adaptor only. I don't even put batteries in unless I'm going to be using it where AC isn't available.

it is battery operated only but I have seen adaptors which can plug into the 9 volt battery plugs. that would mean you can only use it in or very near your home.

Mine have a cord coming out of a hole that is then plugged into a wall socket. I would think if it's battery operated the battery would be outside where you would be able to recharge/exchange the battery.

It's battery operated, however, you can also use an AC adapter, but that's not included.

Its just a 12v setup. u can wire it to your battery and it will only use power when you have it on. it doesn't use much my customers love them you'll be fine its just a 12v setup. hope this helped

You will still need batteries once outside of the car. This only acts as a wall adapter would inside your house and provides power as long as it is plugged into the unit.
