There are four cameras, apparently each camera will need a separate power supply. Do I have to buy extra power supplies?

The camera kit comes with one power supply with four plugs, one for each camera. You won't need to buy any extra power supplies (unless you want to power every or each camera from different places)

No it comes with a power supply which you will plug in back at the head end and use the four camera splitter to power all four cameras.

The cameras require 9 volts DC, and 600 ma current capacity. So I suppose you can power one of the cameras with a battery for outside use but that doesn't seem practical to me. The cameras are design to be used with the supplied AC adapter.

Each camera has a power plug. I think its best to have a splitter so you dont have to take up so much space on surge protector.

Pig tail for cameras? No when you buy a camera you get a transformer. You can buy separatepower supply for many cameras separately. It has a power cord for its power.dp

The power cord is sold separately. I had my own cord that powered 4 cameras or lights.

The camera has to be plugged in all of the time.You have to have at least one monitor;but ,it will monitor up to 4 cameras.

No power supply is included, but realistically if you're wiring these up you'll want to go PoE. There are many low priced PoE Injectors that work well with this camera if you don't have a PoE capable switch.

Make sure the power supply is connected to each camera. This should be near the receiver (the main box).

I'm sorry Bonnie, but for some reason my message to you got cut off so here is the most important part for you. I also use it for home surveillance. The short answer to your question is NO! you cannot connect an external power supply to these cameras. Hope this was of some help. Pete

Yes but make sure you get the recommended power supply and heavy duty cable. The standard PS and cable won't work for these cameras.

no, camera only. Usually the power supplies will come with the dvr kit if you bought one or a la carte it will be one supply for all of your cameras (i.e. 8 camera setup will have one transformer with 8 outputs to connect 8 cameras).

Hi Roseki, Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, you need to have a DC power adapter to support the cameras so you must need an outlet for the power supply. The pre-made cables are include in the package and is about 60ft long. So you dont need to have a local power to make the whole system work. Just a outlet somewhere in 60ft is good enough. We also put a 5Amp Power Supply and a 1 to 4 splitter in the package. Do you have any other questions? -- Thank you : )

You can have up to 4 cameras as long as they are the same brand of course. I bought the monitor with only one camera, but can buy additional cameras as needed.

Actually, the cameras get their power from their own power plug. You'll need two outlets to power this sytem, one for the dvr and one for the cameras. The power plug for the cameras have a splitter so you can power all 4 from one outlet.

The camera does need a power source. I did not use the power adapter because I connect the camera to my existing video surveillance system. I hope this answers your question.

This is only a camera... there is no monitor included. So yes, you'll need separate power for whatever monitor you plug it into.
