Can I use an external power supply for long time lapse photography?

According to a contact at Fuji the camera cannot be powered by an external power source.

my cameras are 12 volt. I leave the normal power supply hooked to my cameras and just hook up the video input. I hope this helps.

Yes you can. ecsactly you should charge all time while recording, If you disconect charger the battery lasts maximum 3-5 hours

This device does not have an external power supply. It is charged through the USB port, which is a serious weakness in my opinion. That means I can use it on the go, but you can not permanently have it connected to an external drive and SD card, the battery will eventually drain. I really like this system for on the go, but I would also like a permanent set up where it does have external power, can connect to my 5tb external drive and put MicroSD cards in it to copy data to/from.

The instructions indicate you cannot. However, you could set up an external network server only to record at certain times. If you use the internal SD storage capability, this would appear not to be possible. Another possibility is to set a timer on the power supply to the camera. This would require that the camera reboot itself when power is restored. The problem with that is that there is no battery in the unit to restore the internal clock and calendar so you could lose the settings in this process.

You need to use the DC power adapter. The camera does not have its own internal battery.

Don't know - the power consumtion is so low that I use my recargeables in a camera instead

No problem, the device is made made to do time lapses over long period of time. When not in use, it's not good to leave batteries on any device for to long, especially when it's on.

Yes I believe you can,but the way the battery comes out (pulls out kinda hard) you may still be moving the camera more than you want to. I would use an ac adapter for long videos or time lapse which should plug in with the frame case installed.

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

The video should be fine. But you may need a power source closer to the camera.

A standard 12 volt DC cctv camera supply will power the mic. You can buy "Y" connectors at Amazon and run off the camera power cable. That is what I did and it is the most inexpensive solution. Hope this helps

Yes, the camera has a 12 volt dc input for use with AC power adapters and external DC power packs. Some people construct a camera rig with an external battery pack attached for longer power times. Obviously both options make the Pocket less "pocketable". I find that using the internal battery and having a couple extra charged batteries on hand is all I need for most occasions. A single battery usually lasts long enough for me to fill a 64 GB memory card.

at the top of the unit there is a slot for external power.at the moment i can't find my manual or whether or not a power adapter was sent with the recorder.

No. Your cameras will come with a separate power supply or you will install a DC power supply at the DVR location.

Yes it can. It's been a little while since I have messed with cameras, but I believe the rule of thumb I went by was each camera needed about 2 amps. For instance, if youre going to run 3 cameras off of one power supply, the power supply would need to be 12 volt DC and put out about 6 amps. Please double check all this before buying anything though. I have mixed and matched different cameras and I believe they were all 12 volt DC.

No, you don't need to buy a 12 volt power supply. The camera comes with a 12 volt power supply.
