What kind of power does this require? I tried to install it using the power connection on my current security system and it ran down the battery.

Well you should have a power supply on your system to constantly charge the battery. The battery is only for backup when the power goes out. Your panel should have a power supply with it

It power just like your old keypad. I advise keeping your old keypad connected also. You just got to change one setting.

You need a DC power supply that is wired to your 110AC (it could be a power supply that plugs into an outlet) I believe the tuxedos max amperage is around 350 mA, which means you only need a 1 A supply, unless powering multiple screens, amperage should not exceed 80% of total potential.

You need some sort of power weather it be your battery for your car or even a 9 volt. I hooked the up to my car battery and ran wires into the car through the fire wall

You need 2 relays to make whole system work with your alarm. Here is the diagram to wire it up.http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/2607/powerdoorlockwiringfour.jpg

We use the power supply and not a battery. Last week we had a power outage. When the power returned we simply turned the unit on and everything performed without retuning.

Hello Susan. No, it isn't it needs to be connected to power. It's very nice but I don't consider it portable.

This camera requires 12volt 1amp power supply Please visit the following link to purchase it: http://www.amazon.com/GW-Security-12-Volt-Adapter-Surveillance/dp/B005AXLI58/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1402003957&sr=1-2&keywords=gw12v1a

If you're having so many regular power failures you should have backup power anyway since that kind of thing is really, really bad for your system. At some point you're absolutely going to lose data or your system will become unstable. - Trust me, I work in IT.

You have to have power from somewhere, which means running a wire to the camera. Agasio can best tell you what is required, but you presumably need a 12V power line, most likely transformed from an AC power source. If you want something than runs off a rechargeable power cell, this isn't it.

I can't tell you what the specific load on the system is but I can say it's a seamless install and will not impact the operation of any additional modules you have connected. But of course it depends on the type security system you're using...I have a 20ip.

I have mine plugged into a PSU. This is likely the only way to receive power.

This does not come with a power supply. It has the DC connector on it which is standard for CCTV.

Thank you for such a quick reply! I currently have a Cyberpower 450va and the computer, monitor, and WiFi router are plugged into the battery backup section. It works fine. I recently had FIOS installed, and got the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) without the battery backup. I was thinking of buying the larger CyberPower 850 to be sure it could handle everything (for a couple of minutes until our generator starts), especially since I have no clue how many watts the ONT uses. Thanks again for your response.

There is no provision for battery hookup, it has to be connected to power outlet to operate.

Hi, It's a passive system, no battery involved. I'm going to install it today probably, more update in a few days about the sound.

This model is wired with a battery backup. You are better off with both power sources as you always have alarm protection.

Not sure why you would want/need to, but sure, you could use a PSU instead of the supplied power. I have yet to use anything but the supplied PS.

if you are using it just for backup, you shouldn't need anything else... just remember to hook to backup lights for source of power... Michael
