Do I need to run a power wire to its location outside?

You will need a outlet to power it if using wifi. I think you can use POE on cat5, but not sure. I have it mounted high on the garage so I just drilled a hole through the siding and plugged it in.

yes but why bother? it is junk and i have not found a foscam outdoor camera that is not. they all have limited range. the inside cameras are pretty good and i am running an inside camera outside and it has not folded in the three week s i have had it outside with rain and cold. i put a little plastic cap ove it during rain thus no infra but during the day it works fine when the rain comes. go figure.

No the power comes from the outside unit. So you just run 220volt to the outside unit then run the cable to the inside evap

Yes. You do have to buy your own power cord. Just a regular outdoor extension cord.

The connectors are outdoor rated and have environmental seals. I simply plugged the power supply into an outdoor receptacle. Make sure you mount the control unit out of direct sunlight.

I believe you could. I mounted my outside near my deck and ran an electrical cord to it. It works great.

We use an outdoor extension cord. If that isn't the problem call the company.

If this is going to be used outdoors you need to use outdoor rated cable. If not then no.

Anytime u run it near any electrical cable or outlets u must either run it in a conduit or run a shielded cat5e/6 cable.

I have mine connected (for a pool pump) to a standard outdoor outlet with no problems.

No. It's powered by a small AC to DC adaptor. You do need to factor that into the installation.

There is a gfci circuit on the power cord but as previously stated, it must be plugged into a gfci outlet which is the code for outside receptacles in most places.

Plug in that doesn't go very far so for outside jobs will def need a extension cord

Yes. Although it does require the power cable to operate. So plan for where to mount it based on proximity to outlet.

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

No. It's electric so would have to be near a plug in or run an extension cord over.

Not on the power lines, you'll have to add your own connectors, but its fairly easy to do.
